Mario's place was amazing! I would live in that little studio appt in a heart beat! The bathroom is newly renovated and the shower is huge. The appt is in a very cute area with a grocery store close by. The subway is also very close by and one of the express stops so it makes getting to the other end of Manhattan super convenient/ fast. The Bailey House of the Barnum and Bailey Circus is also a couple blocks away so it makes exploring the area you're staying something to consider. Never actually got the chance to meet Mario, but his explanation on how to "check in" was super clear (he even took pictures to help ensure everything he described made sense) and we had no issues getting into the Airbnb. Mario was always timely to reply and happy to help clarify any questions or concerns. Would be happy to stay at Mario's place again if I return to NYC. Thank you Mario! :)
