May & Sofia's place was a great home base for our group of 8 to work our way through the city from. We found the area to be safe with the normal characters in any neighborhood present, but never felt in danger. The subway access was perfect for travel into the city. There were no major complaints from our group other than the lack of a few basic amenities (bottled water, extra towels, shampoo/conditioner/soap). Two of the couples in our group flew in on the red eye and because no one was staying in the apartment they were kind enough to let us arrive early to drop our luggage and sit for a minute before hitting the town and that was so generous. The parking on the street is great if you can find a spot, otherwise the parking garages we found within any type of walking distance started at $35 for every 24 hours so keep that in mind. On the whole we were satisfied with the apartment and it worked well for our group.
