We really enjoyed staying at Renato's place. It was easy to find free street parking nearby (just watch out for street cleaning days on each side) and a quick walk to the subway for ventures elsewhere in the city. Check in was easy and Renato kindly greeted us with fresh water and his own neighborhood guidebook. He was super communicative with us throughout our stay and quick to help when we somehow locked ourselves out of the bedroom (sorry, Renato!). The apartment and room have awesome décor and plants as shown in the photos, and everything was clean and comfortable. Despite some wet weather, we enjoyed coffee on the roof deck, which I'm sure is a great space later in the season. We also took a suggestion from Renato's guidebook and checked out a nearby bar called Pink Metal on what ended up being one of its quieter nights, which we enjoyed. We'd definitely recommend Renato's place and would certainly consider staying there again on our next trip to New York.
