We spent 5 days at Xiomara's beautiful apartment, she really has a good taste for home decoration. The room was small but we used it only for sleeping and the living room was also available with a cozy couch and all the equipment. Penelope was very friendly and quiet, I don't remember if I ever heard her barking. The closest subway station is about 5 minutes walking and it took us usually about 40-45 mins to get to Manhattan by subway from the apartment. Xiomara is a lovely, friendly and helpful host, I recommend her to everybody
