Marcello was very communicative, organized, and pleasant overall. Location is as described and surprisingly quieter than I expected for how close it is to Times Square. The host and apartment overall were great.

The only problem that Marcello needs to fix is the heating situation. The first night I was there was bitterly cold and the small space heater + radiator couldn't keep the room above the 50 degree range. I didn't get the best sleep before a long day, which was the only negative.

On a warmer night or once the heating situation is improved, this gets the highest recommendation from me. Just talk to Marcello and make sure it suits your needs. Again, he is an extremely good communicator, so you should have no problem.
