The Place:
The interior was lovely. It seemed to be newly refurbished and was immaculate. There was a TV with satellite channels, but we did not use it much. We stayed in the summer and there were two AC units: one in the bedroom and one in the living room. New York was pretty humid during our trip but they helped dry out the place when we were around. The floors were all marble flooring, which was nice in the summer but may make things cold in the winter. There were three places to sleep: a queen sized bed, a twin floor mattress, and a pull out couch. The queen bed was hard as a rock, but the other two were not as firm. It was not very noisy, though you could hear the people upstairs moving around. There is no stove or oven in the place. That did not matter to us, though, as we mostly ate out.
The Neighborhood:
The place is very close to a small commercial district. A five minute walk takes you to lots of eateries, bodegas and other stores. If you need something, it's very easy to get. We assumed parking would be a nightmare and we were right. We mostly took public transportation or a car service.
The place is a block away from a bus stop and a train stop, and car services usually picked us up within 5 minutes of a call.
The Host:
Dan was very nice and made sure we were checked in and checked out with no problems. We communicated mostly through text. He made sure everything was set up and accessible for us and that we had everything we needed.
All in all, the place was a great stay for us and we would definitely recommend it.
