We had a very nice stay at Fernando's place. It's a very small studio with limited sunlight availability, but the place was clean, well stocked and the mobile AC unit it keeps the place nice and cool (even in July). Nice amenities in the building, there are a few washers and dryers in the basement, along with the gym and small place to hang out. Neighbourhood in general is really nice, quite a few stores, pubs and bagel shops in few minutes of walk. 5 mins to the local metro station, 10 to the express station, about 15 to the Central Park / AMNH. Communication with the host was really smooth. I think this is a very nice option for a sightseeing trip.
