Carlos was an amazing host, very easygoing and made himself available for anything. His apartment was kept very clean and it was very lovely, filled with art and put together. The room was very nice and very spacious, especially for a room in nyc. The neighborhood was nice, and not far from the subway station and buses, which if you're flying in or from jfk airport is a straight shot. Also relatively close to Columbia University and Central Park. Also, on a side note for those that may be struggling to find places due to LGBT issues, Carlos was very accepting and respectful of that.
