I didn’t want to leave! I stayed at Mario’s place for a week in July/August 2019 while on a work trip to New York, and I had a great time. The apartment was spotlessly clean and genuinely picturesque, with beautiful light from the big windows, pretty furnishings, and a nice view over neighbouring houses. It was also very comfortable - I slept well, and the air conditioning was very effective at keeping the place cool in the summer heat. The location was great, in a leafy but vibrant part of Manhattan close to local parks and a very short walk to the subway. As soon as I arrived, Mario sent over directions to the closest coffee shop and grocery store, so I didn’t even have to Google! I would highly recommend Mario’s place for business or pleasure.
