Gene's place was on a great location, cozy, and he went above and beyond to make us feel us welcomed. The place was big for NYC standards. I do agree with other guests that the radiator noise was a little loud at times, especially if you are not used to it. It was freezing cold too, so that might have contribute to the noise. After the first night, we were too tired to notice and it didn't bother us as much. Overall, we were happy with everything and totally recommend it.
