Nelson is a very good and responsive host. His 2 friends, who share the apartment with him, are two very kind and helpful young guys. They helped me all the way with the luggage, food buying, medication pick up (I was badly injured in Spain and could not walk), information, etc. And I cooked for them some tasty dishes. The room is small, but has all the necessary things in it. Same for the kitchen. It is great for a low budget short stay. The neighborhood is a quiet, residential place. I did not have a chance to walk around and cant say much about it. Wifi is good, place was clean, it is close to Manhattan - about $25 on a taxi ride. So, all was fine, and I am grateful to Nelson for organizing my short visit so well. Many thanks, dear Nelson! Stella
