Ruben's place was suitable and in a convenient location! less then 5 min walk to subway station. The place looked just like the pictures. Tons of stores and restaurants around the area (OPEN LATE) We didn't officially meet but was easy to get a hold of, checking in was a breeze, and it was nice of him to occasionally check in on us :) Good neighborhood felt safe and people were friendly. When we make are way back to the big apple theirs no doubt where we are staying! Thank you
