Chito and Xavier are the best hosts we ever had. They helped us with everything without being intrusive at all. Whether we needed a scicor or an aspirin, they would always be willing to help and respond fast.
The apartment was super clean and organized. It has an independent entrance and all the things you need. We stayed 15 days there in the winter and we didn't needed to get anything else for the house (except food for us, of course).
The apartment is very comfortable and looked exactly as in the pictures.
If you are used to use the subway, the distance is ok to Time Square were most of the tourist go. It was our first visit to New York, and we travel with the subway everywhere without problems. Manhattan is well connected. As long as you are in the island, the location should be good if you have a subway close to where you are staying
