I highly recommend Nick and Rodrigo's apartment for your trip to NYC. The room/apartment were sparkling clean, and the location is very convenient to access the city via subway and ferry. Nick was very responsive, friendly, and hospitable, and took the time to show my sister and I transportation apps to improve our navigation around the city. He also recommended the Astoria ferry, which is less than 15 min walk from the apartment, and provides a fun, convenient, and inexpensive method to get around. The neighborhood felt very safe and there is a great view of the Empire State Building from the room!
