The apartment is as advertised and the photos in the site do it justice. It is close to a subway station. If you plan to go to Manhattan, please be aware of the transit times. Garcia is a great host, very responsive. We had two significant issues (loss of internet; no hot water) which were not of his direct responsibility, and he acted quickly to solve them. The muffled music noise that comes from outside the apartment has been mentioned by other guests, but we did not experience that at night, but from 8am onwards. Overall, this location is a reasonable price / value relation, if your looking for a few days stay in NYC.
