I can't give enough praise to Andres and his home. On a personal level, he greatly exceeded our expectations in terms of communication and friendliness. He and his wife have a rich history in this neighborhood and are extremely generous in their willingness to share it with others at a truly affordable price.
As for the home, it's wonderful. To begin with, it is exceptionally clean: the bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen, and living room were all impeccably tidy. It has three distinct (private) bedrooms - each with a comfortable bed appropriate for two people - which was perfect for our group of six.
The neighborhood couldn't be better. You can easily spend a week dining at exceptional restaurants all within a matter of blocks. Entertainment is also easily accessible; countless bars and live music establishments are just minutes away. Don't feel bad that you're not in Manhattan - this area has FLAVOR! BUT, if you do want to get into the city, the house is within walking distance (10 mins) of two metro lines, making trips in and out a breeze.
I would be remiss if I didn't mention Andres' truly spectacular collection of art. One could easily spend several hours wandering from room to room admiring the pieces he and his family have created and collected over the years.
Believe me, THIS IS WHERE YOU WANT TO STAY!
From all six of us,
Thank you so much Andres!!!
