Ricardo's place was a great find, close to Subway routes for access to downtown Manhattan and plenty of places nearby also. The room was exactly what was expected and suited my wife and I as a place to rest after a long day exploring NYC. Ricardo himself seems easy going. Bed was comfy, bathroom despite being shared was fine (this is clearly in the room description, but some people may be put off). Only minor issue was the temperature in the room at night was a little hot, but there is a fan in the room. Price was excellent for somewhere so close to downtown Manhattan.
