Had an amazing stay here in Lower East Side. The apartment / room is as described on the photos, very bright. It's very nice having AC in the room during hot summer days - your room gets cool in a matter of seconds literally. Javier is an outstanding host that can tell you about the best spots in the area to see. Felt like at home. Whenever I come back to Manhattan and I need a room to stay, it'll definitely be this apartment. Highly recommended, very good value!
