Carlos is very hospitable and communicative before and during our stay. He gave us a very thorough tour of the house when we arrived and gave us tips on how to get around. It’s in a good location where there is access to multiple trains—just have to check the schedules especially during the nighttime and weekends. Would recommend if you’re looking to visit mainly Manhattan—Brooklyn will be a much further trek but if planned accordingly, can also pull it off during a week-long visit.
Otherwise, the room itself comes with pretty much everything you will/may need —toiletries, towels, first aid kit, hair dryer, umbrellas, & hangers. Not that there is limited food options in NYC, but it was nice to have access to a kitchen space if needed.
