It was the perfect stay in NY for what I went for and good value for money. Julio and Maria are very warm and friendly guests.
The room is cozy and clean as mentioned. Enough space for one person, and Julio and Maria had no problems in me using the living room table for some work related things and the kitchen whenever I needed. Bed is very comfortable and well done by Maria. I would only suggest them to change the window for a more modern when possible to contain the noise coming occasionally from the outside (Well you are in Manhattan!) But I slept overall well every night.
The Bathroom is clean and shared with Maria, hot water functions well in the shower. It is adjacent to the room, which helps privacy.
Apartment is well located just in front of the "A" subway which brings you in the heart of Manhattan in 20/40 minutes (depending where you go)
The apartment is in a nice residential area, that I advice to explore, lots of nice small cafes, and walking distance to the fort Tryon park and the Cloister monastery (two hidden gems to get away from the hustle of Manhattan)
Last but not least, Maria is also an excellent cook. This is not included in the service but I was fortunate that she cooked two lovely soups when I was around and she kindly offered me to join them for dinner. Delicious!
