I had the chance to stay at Marco's for a few weeks. He and Linda would come clean the apartment and change the towels every week. I strongly recommend the place whoever wants to explore midtown Manhattan and look for a cozy home-stay experience in NYC. The apartment itself is clean and has most of the things you would need (even band-aids and tampons!). The kitchen and living room could be a bit dark without lights on during the day, but shouldn't be a big problem.
