Negra is a great host. The detailed information that she provides and the excellent communication from start to end is clear and reassuring. Her apt is clean, comfortable and very central to everything, right beside a subway station that takes you right to Time Square etc without any changes in 10/15 minutes. There are great shops just around the corner - a large supermarket which has everything you could possibly want and a great discount store. There are bars and restaurants within walking distance and we always felt safe here.
