Room in an apartment - I assume it is a sublet as the others in the apartment are other renters living in NYC. They could be a little noisy but were polite and happy to turn music down. Also the room has a lock and key so I wasn't worried about security.
I did not get to meet Enrique but he made sure to text and check in during my stay.
Quite far out of central New York if you're here to sight see, but it's very close to the subway station and the subway line 2 goes directly from there to the heart of the city. And obviously this is reflected in the price, it is very reasonable compared to other options!
Cooking facilities were good, there was ample space for me in the fridge plus a microwave and hob.
Unfortunately on my last night I spotted a mouse running around behind the bed which unsettled me for the evening, hopefully this will be sorted soon.
