Ulises is a very responsive and communicative host and was flexible in allowing an early check in. However the home was put together in a slightly haphazard way. We arrived while the cleaner was still working, but even afterwards, things were still tarnished. The toilet was completely wet upon first use -- presumably with cleaning fluids. We could not for the life of us figure out how to turn lights on and off (there are so many plugs and appliances) so we ended up unplugging some things and then having to sleep with the lights on. There are luxury amenities for comfort (which is great) but basic things are missing eg paper towels. It is a comfortable place to stay and conveniently located to La Gaurdia, but next time I would look for a less expensive place for less than a 24 hour stay.
