This was my 2nd time I was staying at Anthony’s place and I couldn’t recommend this place enough. Located in a nice neighborhood with a big hispanic community, it is about 45 min from downtown Manhattan by public transport (either L or M line).
If you book this flat in the middle of the week, there is a good chance you will have the whole flat to yourself. As for the check-in process, it was very easy and Anthony was quick to answer and help me when I had an issue.
