Alfredo is very kind and does his best to make his guests feel welcome. The apartment is clean and tastefully furnished. The room and apartment are quite small but perfectly adequate for a short stay. The location, less than five minutes walk from Central Park, is excellent. There is quite a bit of outside noise in the apartment (traffic and voices from the street) but I suspect that is unavoidable in New York. I felt safe walking home, even late at night. I was happy to have stayed in this apartment.
