Arguably one of the best hosts I've met. Gene is super friendly and does everything he can to make your stay pleasant. My flight arrived and departed early, but he accommodated that! He's also good at checking in on you and updating you on things, like if he'll be swinging by. His place isn't new, but it's clean, comfortable, and charming. I was in town for work reasons, but his place is only three blocks from Times Square and close to public transit. As a consequence of location, you might hear some rowdy people from the street, but hey, that's NYC for ya. Overall great host and location, 10/10 would come again!
