Larry and Raúl are the ULTIMATE hosts! I had read the multiple, superior reviews they've receive from previous hosts (one of the main reasons I chose to stay with them) and kept wondering how all could be so positive. Well, they're REAL! From the start, Raúl's communication was timely (nearly instantaneous replies!), effective and most helpful. The moment we arrived, we were made to feel like we were at home: warm welcoming, attention to detail, cozy atmosphere, and a very comfortable bed! The LOCATION is a definite plus as well: right in the middle of Hell's Kitchen, a few minutes walk from everything, including Broadway theaters, Rockefeller Center, Times Square, Central Park, Carnegie Hall, subway stations. We're definitely planning to stay with Raúl and Larry on our next yearly busy to NYC!
