This was a really great base for my NYC holiday. The location couldn't have been better. Within 1 block is a coffee shop, a good grocery store, a Citi bike station and the surprisingly useful G train. The G train is good for Wburg, Park Slope MOMA PS1, and even for midtown.

Waldemar was a very nice host and was available at all times. He also had World cup and Wimbledon on which was good for getting updates.

The room was spacious and comfortable. Even on 95+ days the room was bearable with the fan on. The bathroom is very nice, and the small outdoor deck was perfect for breakfasts each morning.

The only thing I think everyone should be aware of is that there is very little acoustic privacy between this room and the neighboring room and also with the rest of the house. My girlfriend and I wanted to make *ahem* noise. We didn't really feel comfortable doing that and had to keep a lid on it. If you too are traveling as a couple you'll want to know this before you book...
