Gene is one of the best host you can find here. He is helpful, open and communicative. The apartment is an authentic new york experience. Gene will foresee if there is anything you might not like if there are any issues in the apartment and he will let you know. He will also help you out if you need help for anything during your travels. His help and advice starts from the moment you leave the airport until you leave for the airport. Overall great guy and a great stay.
