OVERALL - Stay here!

APT - I was very comfortable in this apartment. The space is just enough for one person - maybe two - and well worth the price for staying smack dab in Manhattan. I had two bathroom shelves to set up my things, towels, a very comfortably large bed, a dresser and closet, multiple power outlets in the bedroom.

HOST - Gio and Josef were extremely welcoming, friendly, and helpful. They didn't mind that I came home very late on some nights and they even offered up the food in their fridge for me. We engaged in some very pleasant conversation when we crossed paths but overall barely saw each other and they were totally out of my way. It was as comfortable as staying with a friend!

LOCATION - Very central, easy to get to the train, and relatively cheap cabs to most locations on the lower sides of Manhattan (I didn't go any further North during my stay).
