We had a great time in NY and Teddy & Blanca are great hosts. Teddy welcomed us to NY and showed us the flat and gave tome tips on where to have breakfast & lunch. The flat was clean and has all the necessities you need. But you'll probably be roaming around NY instead of being there :). There are lots of supermarkets and places to eat in the neighborhood. Mid and downtown are easily reachable by subway ($2,50) of Taxi ($12 to $15 ride) but also walkable (1 hour).
Would definitely go back!
