Antonio was a lovely host, and the apartment was very comfortable and spacious for my friend and I. We were greeted on arrival and Antonio had prepared detailed instructions on the location of local amenities and public transport etc. The bedroom pictured with a sofa bed actually has a double bed and access to a rear backyard.

The subway is approx. a 10 minute walk from the apartment and if you're planning to visit other areas of Manhattan (besides lower Manhattan) such as Midtown or further north, allow up to an hour to get there by train as you'll have to change trains three times. Other than that, the apartment is located fairly close to a grocery store and cafe/restaurants on Bedford Avenue. I had read another review that guests felt unsafe in the area, although my friend and I (two girls) had no problems and felt safe walking home late most nights we stayed there.
