What to talk about a place and a person so special? Baraba really is a super nice host! My girlfriend and I stayed in her apartment for 13 unforgettable days! Besides being a kind person and have so much positive energy, Barbara was always very helpful and helped us a lot when we need! Even not seeing her that much (she works a lot), she showed us everything nearby, including a place to take a delicious vitamin in the morning! The room was clean, has a cozy bed, a LCD TV (Netflix,youtube etc...) and the apartment is really well located near major subway lines. The neighborhood is good, including people leaving the subway around 1 am, so we did not see anything to worry about. There is also some markets very close! There is a pretty cool service to dry and wash clothes in the building which makes life much easier! If you are lover of good beers like me, there is also a very nice bar with a good selection of beers near by, perfect for going after walking all day in NY! We definitely recommend not only by location and price but mainly by the person who is Barbara!
