Luz' place is clean, spacious, with personal fridge and tv in the room. The common place like bathroom is very clean too. It's in residential area around 10 to 15 mnts walk from the subway, with some shops and choices of fast food nearby. Subway has one flat rate that will take you to many stops in New York, during my visit in March'18 is Usd 2.75 per entry. The apartment is on the 6th floor, and the building has a lift. Luz speaks a little english but her husband speaks english well, so communication is not an issue for me. I recommend this place for people who wants to visit New York in a budget.
