We had a comfortable stay in NYC in Roque's apartment.We haven't met him unfortunately, but his neighbour Carmen was there and welcomed us warmly with a bottle of wine. Roque also messaged us to make sure we have everything we need.
The room and apartment are clean and comfortable with everything we needed.
The location is good and is close to metro and you can easily get to all points of interest cheep.
The neighbourhood looks safe during day and early evening, however there is nothing to explore there.
At night take subway line 6 and it will be OK, as the apartment is very close and there are lots of eateries and grocery shops around.
Overall a good base to explore NYC and value for money.
