We spent a week in this spacious, clean and comfortable apartment. The beds were great and the wifi excellent. A good choice of nearby travel options into Manhattan and other areas. The neighbourhood was definitely edgy and required sensible navigation, but it was so interesting to experience that side of New York life. If we'd stayed in a more wealthy or hip area we would have come away with a one sided tourist's view of the city. The apartment security was good so no concerns there and Juan gave us good advice on travel and staying safe. The kitchen was a little basic for our needs but we managed as it was only for a week. The bathroom was small but very good - clean and everything working well. The air conditioning, only in the living room, was ineffective and didn't reach the bedrooms, so it was hard to cool down after a hot and sweaty day's sightseeing. There was also a fair amount of noise around the apartment, but that was to be expected considering the location. Juan was such a kind and helpful host, immediately responding to our queries and needs. He even installed a dining table at our request prior to our arrival. If there was an 'Extra Super Host' category on airbnb then he'd be in it!
