Hugo and his family was responsive and helpful. We arranged a check-in time ahead via text. His mother welcomed me and showed me around, saying "This is a humble apartment." It is a very basic place, but clean and comfortable. With WIFI, a comfy bed, room in the refrigerator and a clean shower, I had everything I needed.
The room was quiet when I was there (Saturday through Monday). The neighborhood is lively and diverse, though a bit of a hike to Harlem which is where I had intended to stay. Plenty of convenient transportation options, shopping, laundry, decent restaurants.
If you are looking for a clean, basic, private place at a great price, this is a good option.
