I rented the room for my parents, who were visiting my wife and I, and our new newborn daughter for two weeks. Joaquin was a gracious host and he has a charming home that is well taken care of. The whole house is very tastefully decorated and you can tell Joaquin has put a lot of his loving attention into it. My parents had a private bedroom on the 3rd floor with a nice view of the street and a small private bathroom. The floor is shared with the host's master bedroom, bathroom, and office. Joaquin was extremely patient in showing my parents all the details of how to use everything in his home.

The house is well situated near all the Sunset Park attractions. It is very close to the subway and public buses, and the park itself is only half a block away. You also have easy access to Latin American restaurants on 5th Ave and Chinese and Southeast Asian places on 8th Ave. Any way you go, you're sure to have plentiful choices for affordable and tasty cuisine.

Lastly, Joaquin's two dogs were sweet and gentle. My mom is VERY afraid of dogs, so this was a concern for me. Somehow, by the end of her visit even she was OK with them. That was unprecedented!
