When I arrived at Julio and Maria's apartment, Maria told me that from now on we were family, and that was just the way it was.
Julio and Maria are one of the nicest people you can ever met, they are SO nice, good hearted, and funny people.
I spent with them a week but I felt I already knew them for years.
They are always eager to help you in whatever you need, or to share a meal, or just to have a good time together.
The apartment is beautiful, full of Julio's paintings. The room is very cozy and comfortable, just like in the pictures you have your own tv, internet, heating is very good, the neighborhood is very secure, and it has the A line metro stop just across the street, which will take you downtown in 25 minutes.
I was lucky enough also to go to Julio's workshop, he is a great painter and artist, and to taste several of Maria's delicious dishes, she can cook a delicious meal in half an hour, it's amazing.
So I can't recommend enough Julio and Maria's apartment, I had a fantastic time staying with them, and hopefully I will be back in NYC to stay with them again some time soon, I miss them.
