Apartment was clean and exactly as described. Blanca's husband helped us carry our luggage and even helped us secure a better parking arrangement than what we had. No issues with noise at night and easy walk to restaurants and subway. Convenient market a few doors down to pick up snacks/drinks. Finns bagel two blocks away made for a great breakfast stop and was much less busy than the others going towards Broadway. Blanca's place was great to come back to at the end of a long day sightseeing and exploring the city. Remember to bring tablet/laptop etc... for entertainment as there are no tvs which was fine because we didn't come to the big apple to watch tv.
