Ok, we were a bit surprised by the apartment we rented to be fair! We knew the place was a dorm but the room was way smaller than it looked it the pictures. That could have been ok if it wasn't for the outside noise. We all had a hard time sleeping at night. With ear plugs the 2nd night, it was a bit better. That's for the negative side. The place is retreat for street artists and there are always people in the apartment, with shared bathroom and kitchen. Diego and his friends were very nice and helpful, and did everything to please us so that we could enjoy our our stay. It just was not a place for us. If you are a backpavker going to Manhattan to patty, this place is for you.
