First, Gene is a super friendly person. I had gotten an inaccurate review by another host, and he was courteous enough to ask me what happened. The place is exactly as in the pictures. It's just a block away from Central Park. Also, a few blocks away from Mount Sinai Hospital. Check-in was a breeze. Gene contacted me a couple of times to see when I was arriving and if I needed anything. After that, I heard from him the day I was checking out. I would recommend staying at this apartment if you are coming to New York City. You will enjoy your stay for sure.
