I never got to meet Evangelista, but rather, someone else presumably working with this listing. The communication was a bit tough due to a language barrier, especially at checkout. However, I greatly appreciate the hospitality during a short work trip to NYC! Thank you so much to the host for welcoming me + allowing me to store luggage a bit past checkout. :)
My only critiques about this apartment is the cleanliness and the sound above from neighbors, as this is a first floor apartment. There were some differences between the pictures and the current state of the apartment, but overall it did the trick for a 2-night stay.
