We're just back from New York. My cousin Richard stayed at Alberto's. Here is what he wrote:
Mr Arias is a very friendly and kind person. He is great host.
The appartement is not so far way from a subway by walking, is only a few blocks away, is convenient and close to everything you need. Lots of shops and restaurants nearby, and also, it is a very quiet area and safe at all times.
The room is nice and cozy with a big bed and TV, very comfortable. I would definitely recommend staying here, I loved it and will be back for sure! I had a pleasant stay, Thank you for everything Mr Arias.
