My boyfriend and I had a fabulous time exploring NYC using Agus' apartment as our home base. We spent long days exploring, so unfortunately did not have the chance to meet Agus. However, she was always quick to respond to any questions or concerns that we had.
Agus' apartment is lovely and clean. The building feels very safe and secure. Unfortunately, we found the neighbourhood to be quite sketchy. The walk from the subway is thankfully quite short, but I would not have been comfortable walking alone. Because I was travelling with my boyfriend (who is not small), it was fine. This apartment is not located in the hip area of Williamsburg.
Our room was clean and spacious. The kitchen appeared to be clean and well supplied; however, we did not eat there (too much good food to try in NYC)! The bathroom was also very clean and we were happy it was private.
The apartment can be quite noisy and Agus did have friends visit one night (which is of course understandable), but they were quite noisy well into the night, so I do recommend bringing earplugs.
Checking in and checking out were very easy. She charges $30 to leave luggage beyond the 10am check out which seems excessive to me.
Overall, a nice, clean, modern apartment close to Manhatten, but in a dodgy neighbourhood.
