Belkis was a fantastic host.

We booked on our day of arrival due to a cancellation while we were literally on the bus to New York and she was very accommodating.

Belkis has a sweet and friendly attitude that immediately makes you feel at home. She also allowed us to leave our luggage behind before we caught our flight.

The neighbourhood its self is perfectly fine, we would regularly walk back from the subway past 11pm and never felt uncomfortable. It's a little rough around the edges on first glance but it's no different from any other city neighbourhood.

Very good transport links as it is a short walk from the subway, then a 30-40min ride into Manhattan.

The convenience store on the corner also has a kitten which is a bonus.
