This is an ideal place for a short stay in New York. The location is great, just a couple of blocks away from the subway station, with frequent (and 24/7) downtown trains and trains that take you straight to the AirTrain to JFK. The neighborhood is nice, we came back late at night most evenings and had no problems whatsoever. The room is nice and clean, with a big closet and it is set apart from the main part of the house so it grants some privacy even though the bathroom is shared with Belkis (and her family/friends if they happen to be there). We didn't get to interact with Belkis much because we basically just slept at home, but she kindly provided with all the information we needed to reach her place and her sister (who is just the sweetest person) welcomed us the first day and gave us all the assistance we needed. The last day we could basically self check-out with no problem.
