Esmeralda's place proves a wonderful home base for visiting the city -- comfy, clean apartment in a great leafy neighborhood, with groceries & other amenities nearby, and very close to the A line for quickly moving around Manhattan and beyond. Know that it's up 4 flights of stairs (great for me, but not for all), and that the shower can be fully hot or merely warm, depending on time of day/how much the rest of the building has used. Great kitchen, with everything that a cook may need, and reliable wifi and in-room window a/c. You'll enjoy.
