Fantastic apartment for single travellers. José is a welcoming host but also gives you the freedom and privacy to enjoy the accommodation as he left for work very early and I returned quite late most days when he had already settled down for the night. Good quality furnishings, shower, fridge freezer etc. There was even a high-quality coffee maker and huge TV though I didn't get round to using them. Nearest subway was about a 10 minute walk or you could reach main part of midtown or the East Village in a 20-25 minute walk. Highly recommended and an absolute bargain!
