Telmo was a great host. He replied the same day if there was any problems. We run into a problem at the beginning of the stay, but with Telmo's help we were able to get everything situated. There's a lot to do around the area, Steinway Street has a lot of options of different places to eat. The city is not far AT ALL. It about a 20 min drive by car, or 40 mins by the subway. Overall Telmo was a great host, and I recommend staying at his place.
