This apartment was perfect for our needs. It is conveniently located near mass transit. We felt safe in the neighborhood around the apartment. We were able to find on-street parking within one block of the apartment. It is clear that Luis has given a great deal of thought to the needs of his guests. The apartment itself was nicely decorated and outfitted - even the items in the bathroom cabinet were artfully arranged! While the apartment is small (this is NYC after all!), it is also quite comfortable. We found the apartment to be quiet and I slept well - something that is unusual for me when travelling. Although it wasn't an issue for us, this is a basement apartment and you have to go down a flight of stairs to get to it. We also weren't bothered by noise from the unit above us. We are very grateful that we were able to stay here on short notice after our other arrangements fell through.
