Overall, the accommodation was excellent, and I actually booked an extra night at this place because it worked out so well. The room is as nice as it is in the picture. It came equipped with snacks, a mini-fridge, a coffee maker, and more. The bathroom comes with shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel. Furthermore, even though it is in an old building (typical for NYC), it comes with a nice elevator.
Yahaira was nice and accommodating. She lives with her teenage kids and two small dogs, and their part of the apartment is sectioned off from yours so that you have the proper privacy. You only share the bathroom.
The area is diverse and is good for Latin cuisines. There's also a good coffee shop in the area called Caffe Bene. You are about 1/3 of a mile from the 1 and C trains.
While I still give five stars, there are few minor downsides that may be important to know for some guests:
-At the time of my stay, she had an iron but not an ironing board. She said, "You can use the bed." The problem with that is that you have to flatten out the sheets first, which can be tedious, or your dress shirt will get creases. Until she gets an ironing board, it may not be the best place for occasions in which it's important to have your clothes neatly pressed.
-WiFi - can be slow at times. May not be as good as what you have at home. However, it works and is secure.
Nonetheless, Yahaira's place worked out well for a weekend stay, and I would stay there again.
