Marcelo is an excellent host! He was flexible, friendly, on time and helpful. You couldn't ask for better.

The apartment is by no means 'fancy', but is fine for 1 or 2 people who are looking to visit NYC. The location is a huge advantage: 5-10 minutes walk to Times Square and 3 minutes to the subway.

I visited NYC to attend a conference and this was just what I needed. Simple, straightforward and no unnecessary frills, and a good price. It's half the price or less of a hotel in the same area. I will be staying again.

I want to give the experience 4.5 out of 5 stars, just because the apartment is up 5 floors and there's no elevator. But I have to choose between 4 or 5, so I'm leaning to 5 because the experience was exactly I had expected and hoped.
