Diego is an interesting, helpful, eclectic and very accommodating host. We drove overnight and arrived at 6:30 AM and he generously allowed us to check in when we arrived. The neighbourhood is safe, vibrant and has a very lived in feel to it. It was nice to return to what is an actual neighbourhood after seeing the sights in the more touristy and sanitized parts of Manhattan. The location is a 10 minute walk from the Lexington/Green line which will take you all the downtown to all the tourist spots. The apartment is large, spacious and airy with a nice airflow when the windows are open. It was surprisingly quiet despite facing 116th street too. We fully expected to have to pay for a parking garage but found free street parking for the entire weekend. All in all a very positive experience and would definitely stay again! Thanks for everything Diego!
