The host has great communication. We were able to book on a short notice and extend on several occasions. We had an extended stay. The apartment is comfortable , elevator is a plus. Its near central park and several good restaurants in the area. We mostly ordered delivery and recommend a great dominican place called Malecón Restaurant, great prices, tons of flavorful food. And by far the best in the area is Jacobs Pickles, a must to try. You also have Zabars where you can get bread and great food too.
Guests are required to get there on amenities after the first time, if you're there in winter and a light sleeper maybe earplugs would help for the heater's noise. The apartment itself is very quiet however and you don't have any street noise.
We are grateful to have stayed here overall, we hope to come back again some time.
