Our stay in general was mostly as expected. At first we were a little overwhelmed by all the rules he put down in the profile. Yet we decided to stay there anyway because in our opinion those are the rules we live by at home as well.
The apartment and room were as clean as possible and we had a lot of privacy. We arrived late in the evening but Gilberto greeted us very friendly and showed us the room and the shared spaces of the apartment. He even recommended a few restaurants nearby.
Unfortunately we didn't see much of Gilberto afterwards. Most of the days we came back late to the apartment and he was chilling alone in the living room and kept to himself. We kind of expected there to be more socializing between the three of us because that's how we experienced other AirBnBs so far (which is not a negative argument if you like privacy). The neighborhood itself is rather quiet.
The connections to Midtown and Downtown were pretty good. There are two different subway stations nearby the apartment which take you to different neighborhoods of Manhattan in about 20 to 30 minutes.
A little disappointing however was the WiFi in the room which was really slow and unstable from time to time, especially in the evenings.
All in all: If you like a solid, affordable and quiet room with lots of privacy - this is your place!
