Great neighbourhood, about less than 5 mins walk from main subway station. It's also close to some supermarkets which is great. Apartment is lovely and clean, just like in the pictures. Gaspar is really friendly and helpful, he let us leave our bags in his apartment as we arrived a few hours before check-in. He also helped us carry our bags up some stairs to the apartment (there's no lift, but it's just a few stairs to climb!).
It was my first time to NY so in case you need an idea of location and timings: using the subway it'll take about 30 mins from the apartment to Lower Manhattan. About 45 mins to Midtown, just under an hour to Upper East/Westside and just over an hour if you travel into Queens. So if you're used to travelling a bit to your destinations this location is perfect. And it's about 30 mins drive from JFK airport to the apartment.
Also - there's a great bagel place about 15 mins walk from the apartment, it's called Lula Bagel. And it's nearby Franlkin Avenue where we found a nice bar to meet some friends living nearby! Thanks for hosting us!
