I enjoyed a one week experience in Steven's apartment with my couple Marta, and the truth is that we could not have been more delighted. Steven is a spectacular host, he waited for us despite arriving an hour late without any problem, with everything perfectly prepared. The room is very large and comfortable, with closet space for more than two people and a very comfortable bed.
As for distances, the apartment is a 10 minute walk from a subway station with five lines, so in a 15 minute ride you are in the most important tourist attractions of the city.
It is possible to store things in the fridge, which is the use we made of the kitchen. In addition, the bathroom was for the private use of the tenants of the room, and both the water and the heating in the bathroom and bedroom worked perfectly.
All in all, we had a 10 star experience and would not hesitate to return to his apartment on our future return to NYC.
PS: his dog Thiago is so friendly.
