We had a really good time staying at Andres and Natalia’s place while visiting NYC! The apartment is super clean and tidy and the hosts are extremely nice and helpful. Of course you have to take the subway to get to the city but the apartment is located to easily reach two different metro stations (Seneca Ave or Myrtle Ave) from where you can go to different spots in the city in a reasonable time. It can be a bit loud at night, so if you are a light sleeper, bring earplugs - with those you will sleep well even if there are e.g. sirens outside.
All in all, we can only recommend staying with Andres and Natalia whilst in NYC. It will be enjoyable 😊
