I stayed at Bob’s place for 48 nights with family members.
Bob and his cousin where very hospitably and were quick to resolve any issues that occurred or answer any questions we had. And he was kind enough to let us keep our luggage in the apartment after the check-out time, since our flight was late in the night.
Washington Heights might not be the most beautiful neighborhood, but we felt safe and people are very friendly.
Bob’s apartment is located close to subway stations, and if you take the express A train in the “168st - Washington Hts” station (located less than 10 minutes of walking distance) it very easy and quick (around 15-20 minutes) to get to downtown.
Like in the pictures shown, Bob’s apartment has 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom and one big living room and kitchen, and a nice little backyard that is shared with the downstairs neighbors. The bed, sofa and the air mattress are really comfortable and the kitchen has everything you need. Like most apartment in NYC it doesn’t have a washing machine, but there is a good laundromat at walking distant in Broadway.
We had a lovely stay and we highly recommended it to anyone who is visiting New York.
