Blanca and her husband Teddy were extremely welcoming and hospitable during our stay! They provided extremely quick communication and plenty of helpful information in our first trip to NYC. The apartment is located within close proximity to many important things: subway entrance, laundry services, grocery/drug stores, and several great restaurants (we recommend La Shuk up the street). The apartment itself is on a safe street opposite a large church and had many nice amenities (oven, tv, full sized refrigerator and tub). Also provided were menus of close restaurants and subway map information that Teddy patiently explained in full detail (it's really actually pretty simple once you get oriented). We definitely look forward to our next visit to NYC and will certainly be booking with Blanca and Teddy again!
