Albert is a very responsive and helpful host. The apartment is just as he describes it and in a great neighborhood. This is a terrific place for couples and small families (two small children at the most if one of the kids sleeps with parents). Although we had checked out the area before our visit, we were still wonderfully surprised by the beauty of the neighborhood and the convenience of so many restaurants within walking distance. The subway system was fairly easy to figure out, even if you've never ridden before. I suggest downloading the NYC Subway Map app and studying that before your visit. I highly recommend Albert's place, and would definitely stay there again. So sad we had to leave but already looking forward to another trip!
