Giampiero was an outstanding host with excellent, friendly communication. The place seemed really large for a Manhattan location - the living room was the size of some hotel rooms I have stayed in. The location is exceptional - one of the best neighborhoods in NYC, quiet for the city yet close to the subway, parks, restaurants, museums, etc. and very walkable in one of the world's greatest cities. Yes, there are some stairs to climb, but the unit is worth it. Comfortable beds, tasteful decor and quiet building made this a great place to stay.
