One of the main reason I have started using Air BnB is to learn from the hosts. Tips, insights and guidance on how to make the most of my trip. Unfortunately Roque was not there. Very disappointed.

The flat is as advertised. Everything is relative. For what you pay this is a very acceptable, practical and functional place to stay. Especially if you want a genuine Bronx experience. Carmen, Roque's neighbor - property manager - is a very polite kind person. There is every amenity one needs in the place. Very functional.

The neighborhood is safe and the locals very helpful. The location is superb for subway and transit. Only 2 blocks away, the subway and bus station can get you anywhere in a reasonable amount of time.

Only one aggravation staying here. The shower. My friend said it was like showering in a closet. There's an average tub, but the shower nozzle is on the side wall and the getting the consistent temp was tricky. No long showers.... :-(
