We were very excited to stay at Manny's place after reading the great reviews and seeing the beautiful pictures online. However, we unfortunately had a different experience than we had hoped. I will start with the good. The apartment is very large and unique with the exposed brick and cement floors. It is only a couple blocks from the subway and there is a small store down the street if you need snacks, small items. Manny was great with communication and kind enough to have some flowers in the apartment for us as well. Unfortunately, we were not able to check in at 3pm (had to wait a couple extra hours for cleaning to be done). Fridge/freezer were not working once checked in. Manny did send Alex over that evening to look at it. Since he wasn't able to fix it then, Alex brought us a large cooler and ice (which we were very grateful for!) There was a problem with ants-there were a lot of them in the living room on couch and tables, in bedroom and in kitchen. We bought some ant spray and tried to take care of it unsuccessfully. Manny did say he would have it taken care of for the next guests.
