We had a great „Christmas in NY experience”. We arrived from Budapest (HUN) and spent 10 days at Gaudhi's apartman. The location is really good! The Central Park, and metro 2/3 is in 3 minutes walk. We met Gaudi just once, but his mother lives in the apartment too, and while her English wasn't the best, she was very helpful; and whenever we needed more information, or something we got it through message from the host. 😊
There is also a big screen TV in the room.
We didn’t want to cook anything there, but because of winter time it would have been good just drink a tea at home in rainy morning – we could manage it, although there is no kettle, or microwave oven.
There was an issue with the heating system: its not adjustable. So it was really hot in the room everytime – we could control the temperature just with opening the window… and actually the apartment has a bit strange smell also. We thought that its caused by the heating system – but not sure. So the ventilation is not the best at all.
Although its Harlem, we didn’t feel the neighborhood unsafe – everybody was really friendly and helpful with us.
