Carmen was an amazing host and I really enjoyed my 10day stay at her place. It's in a nice neighbourhood with a bus stop right nearby and about 15-20min footwalk from the subway. The Appartment is very old and you can see that in some places but it's very nice designed and I felt comfortable there immediately. Note tho that it is an old building and you can hear quiete a lot from the neighbours. Also everything I needed was there or taken care of immediately and since the washing machine was broken during my stay her assistant who was very nice took care of that for me as well.
In summary my stay was very good there, I really was able to enjoy New York and if I ever visit the City again I'll definitely check if I can stay here again.
