We stayed for one month at Giampiero’s place and it was perfect (we also had our dog with us). The kitchen is very well equipped, so we could save some $ by cooking at home now and then, and the location is near many subway and bus lines to get anywhere you want to go. We took our dog to Central Park every day, which was a highlight. The only problem is that we couldn’t move in permanently. Giampiero was extremely communicative and made everything easy.
