As Jorge was away, he asked one acquaintance to wait for us in the appartment. The checkin was very brief as we experienced delay with the metro and arrived late at his place. We were two guests and were given one set of keys.

The pictures are acurate and the flat was neat, tidy and confortable for the two of us. We enjoyed the bright living room, the equiped kitchen, the bathroom with a little window, perfect for ventilation. The bedroom is a bit dark because it opens on a small courtyard. That was not a problem for us as we were only there to sleep.

We encountered a minor domestic problem and Jorge, from his remote location, made every efforts to have it fixed and his representative was very helpfulf, despite the language barrier as our English is not fluent.

Regarding the area, be aware that is Harlem. So not as trendy and tidy as lower Manhattan but lively and surprisingly full of nice places to eat. The windows are single-glazed, so do not expect perfect silence in the living room. But that is New-York.

Additionaly, there is two metro stations within 5 minutes of walk giving access to four lines. Not to mention three or four bus (try to get a map ASAP) that go to east and west of Central park.

In a nutshell, a nice location, a nice flat, well maintained. I recommend that place even for first-time visitors like us. Thanks to Jorge to open his flats to visitors.
