Victor was overseas when we got to his place but he made sure someone was there to show us our room and give us our keys which we totally appreciated after being in the air for 8 hours.

This place is beautiful--very artsy and home-ish. Our room totally caught us by surprise when we walked in by how amazingly decorated it was considering it is in the Bronx. Our bed was very comfortable to sleep in and had good heating especially on the colder days in NYC. We also enjoyed the fast wifi and the internet TV with youtube, amazon movies (need your own subscription but it was nice to watch a movie on a big screen), hulu etc available at your disposal. Although a tad bit farther from Manhattan, my wife and I appreciated it being so close to the metro station.

In the end, we saved money by staying here but were still able to see so much of New York by riding the metro everywhere!

This place is a gem! I would definitely reccomend this to anyone looking to save money but wanting amazing accomodations in New York City, nonetheless. With Victor's place, you get both!
