Alessandra is a superb host. She was helping us from the very beginning, providing solutions to our luggage problem, and even to a personal problem I had. Communication with her flows 100%.
The apartment is incredibly located, just a few steps from a metro stop (about 30 mins to Downtown) and close to Central Park. It is possible to find everything in the neighborhood: Supermarkets, restaurants, laundry...If you speak Spanish you won't get lost, as most of the people in El Barrio speak Spanish.
The room is comfortable for two persons. It has A/C, which is very useful in the summer months. It is clean, and Alessandra provides some maps and other tourist info very useful about the city. The bathroom, kitchen and dining room are also clean and comfortable.
I can only recommend it, for sure I'll be back when visiting NYC again.
