If you are on a tight budget this is a great place to stay and visit NYC. The apartment is only 2 blocks from the subway and that got us to everything we wanted to see. Agnes responds quick and is helpful with advice and suggestions. We got lucky and found a parking spot on the street but we didn't move it knowing that it would be gone. Spot hero is a great site to reserve a parking spot close by in advance. Agnes lives on the other end of the apartment so you don't see her much but keep in mind she does rent a room right next to yours that you share a shower with. That wasn't a problem for us at all and I only seen the other person one time in passing the hallway. I would definitely stay again, she's in a great location!
