Rita's home is very clean. Her husband welcomed us and he was very friendly. He shared with us some nice tips for getting around NYC and places to enjoy a lunch. The location of the apartment is nice because it is very near to the subway. There were nice places for food around too. The neighborhood is safe as we were out late in the night and didn't have any problems. The room we stayed in was so cozy and had everything we need for our stay. We really felt like home there and I wish we could stay some more time. I recommend this host and place!
