We stayed @ Telmo's place from Sept 11-13, 2015. Our experience was OK in every sense, but I suppose compared to other places in NYC, we got what we paid for. We arrived @ 2am from Toronto by car, and after driving for 8 hours, we just wanted to go to bed. Unfortunately we didn't get to bed till 5am due to the following two problems:
- The code to get in the door was setup wrong by the owner
- The front door lock wasn't working (we discovered the batteries were dead after)

We tried to get a hold of the owner, but he replied back to us at 9am. At which time, we notified him of the issue and suggested some sort of discount (whatever he thought would be fair) in exchange for the hassle. No discount happened, and all we got at the end of our trip was an offer of a discount on future stay - which we politely declined.

Overall the best part of this property was the kitchen, everything else is quite outdated. Pictures show it much better than the state we received it. There is no central AC, the property has 2 beds and a blow-up matters, which we never found unfortunately. The neighbourhood has some restaurants close by, public transportation is easily accessible and it's located in a primarily Latino neighbourhood.

In conclusion our stay was a 4/10 overall unfortunately. If you're looking for an inexpensive stay in NYC (30min cab ride to Times Square), this is not a bad option.
