Renato's place was perfect for us. A lovely haven with artistic fair and happy indoor plants. Renato offered all the help we needed to get familiar with the neighborhood, the subway system, and he had good advice for places to see and how to get there. It was easy to get to a subway station and into Manhattan, and his neighborhood near Avenue of Puerto Rico is full of interesting shops, restaurants, bakeries, and it was a delight to feel part of it for a few days.
When we had to rent a car, his local knowledge made it easy for us to get the right subway train to a nearby rental place, and saved us a lot of time and aggravation.
Many thanks Renato, you're the best.
