Guillermo is as great a host as previous reviewers have said. We had all the advantages of sharing his own apartment, yet our privacy was complete. We loved the block and local area. The only downside is it's a longer walk to Times Square and the other midtown locations we like, but the extra steps were good for us. And for anyone less interested in walking, numerous subway lines are easily accessible from Guillermo's lovely apartment.
We definitely hope to stay with him again on future visits to NYC--such an incredible bargain!
Thanks again, Guillermo, for all your kindnesses!
