Location, location, location...steps from tons of bars, coffee shops, cafes, restaurants, the Highline, etc. all within quick walking distance. Staying at Gene’s place gives you the feeling of being a real New Yorker and using your friend’s apartment. Amazingly, the bedroom was incredibly quiet...not even a bit of street noise, which is a rarity in NY. Gene was great with communication and would touch base occasionally just to make sure everything went ok.
