Cool place. The place is clean and a bit stylish. Although I waited a bit longer than expected to get into the home, the host was accommodating. She was nice and showed me around the apartment. She even set up the portable air conditioner that had been disconnected or put away because the weather is getting colder. I like the neighborhood. I think El Barrio is one of the few remaining real neighborhoods in NYC. You will never feel scared or threaten. When you look outside your window, you will see a soccer field and people playing soccer during the daytime, and at night it will be completely silent. You will enjoy your stay.
