Loved staying here Julio and his wife Blanca were both very friendly. They have a nice backyard that is open to you with lots of plants and an 85 year old oak tree (tallest in the Bronx) with a painted mural so makes you feel your not even in the city at all. It was great getting food from around the corner and eating back there. The room was pretty big for us two with cable tv as restroom right outside the hall. Everything was really clean and organized. We walked to yankee stadium and walked to target which are very close. It's a very safe area I would say we never got bothered. And subway to the city was right around the corner. Highly recommend this place. Julio is a great guy friendly and easy going and gave us some historical background of the neighborhood pretty cool!
