I loved my stay at Farouk’s place! The location is relatively safe and is slightly uptown from the bustling part of Manhattan, but it has its charm. It is also very near the no. 1 train which takes you to downtown in just 20mins! This area has a big hispanic community so you can expect to find good hispanic food.
Farouk is also a very friendly and good host. Communication with him was easy and fuss free and is just a message away if you need any assistance.
The room is clean, spacious and comfortable. There’s also a kitchen that you can use for light cooking (i.e. heating up food).
All in all, the stay is value for money and I would recommend to anyone staying here!
