The room itself is great for the area, it is a great price that you won't get anywhere else and the place itself is somewhat quaint but is exactly what you pay for. Felipe was a wonderful host and his family is very nice and helpful, the dog is super sweet and wouldn't hurt a fly. This room is perfect for when you just need a place to stay that is relatively cheap and the plan is to spend most of the day outside of the house. We were never woken up during the night so it is nice and peaceful.
We did have some issues finding the house itself so I would advise keeping close in contact with Felipe when you arrive so that he can help you find the place. We arrived late and left really early and in both cases Felipe was very helpful, allowing us to come late and being flexible as also driving us to the airport at 5 am in the morning,
There are a lot of places that are close, for example, the subway, the LaGuardia airport and the Mall where you can get all the basics one needs.
Id rate this place a perfect 5/5 and if im ever in New York again i wouldn't hesitate to give this place another go.
