Saint was a wonderful host, and the room was perfect. It is exactly as shown in the pictures/descriptions, and it is conveniently located between two major subway stations, a short walk from the Museum of the City of New York and Museo del Barrio and literally half a block from Central Park.

Upon arrival, Saint greeted us with hugs and showed us how to use the 3 keys to get into the apartment. Once we were settled, he sat us down, gave us maps of NYC and the subway and asked how he could help make this our best trip to New York ever. He had a lot of great advice and was genuinely welcoming and friendly. After we parted ways, we didn't even see him again for the duration of our stay.

The neighborhood is in a convenient location and had several small grocery stores/bodegas, coffee shops and restaurants nearby. We bought some food from a local shop and kept it in the kitchen so we could make breakfast every day. All of the cooking/eating supplies are available for you to use as long as you clean up after yourself :)

It was pretty loud at night -- people shouting, car alarms, loud music (for no reason, at 2 a.m.) -- but I'd imagine it's going to be like that anywhere you stay in NYC. Not really unusual. I don't know if keeping the windows shut would have helped with the noise.

The room is probably a little bigger than it looks in the picture. The pull-out couch bed is stacked with mattress pads so it's very, very soft (maybe too soft if you like stiffer beds) and you sink right into it.

The apartment is on the 5th floor of a building with an elevator, so you don't have to worry about carrying luggage all the way up the stairs.

We easily took public transportation to/from LaGuardia via the M60 bus and 6 train.

I would definitely try to stay here again if I go back to New York. Thank you for the hospitality, Saint!
