Staying at the Raphael’s apartment was excellent. The neighborhood is very good (1 min to the subway station, Trader Joe supermarket, pharmacies, cafes, restaurants etc. are nearby), it is very quiet (definitely important in NY) and cute.
The apartment is clean, very comfortable and interesting designed. Very nice and cozy lighting. It feels that the hosts are creative people.
Raphael is a great host. He was very helpful to us and communication with him was very nice.
Definitely highly recommend to stay at his apartment !
