Marco’s place is SO CUTE! It was the perfect location to stay for Armory Week: easy walking distance to Piers 90/92/94; close to the amazing Amish Market (great salad and hot bar + snacks); and around the corner from the Jolly Goat (perfect coffee + bagels for your mornings). The proximity to Times Square made it easy to hit the movie theater, have fancy dinner, and see some shows.
If you’re worried the basement location or the ultra-efficiency (toilet/shower in room) thing is weird - don’t be! Everything felt cozy, safe, comfortable, and like a home away from home. It was much quieter than I expected for the hot location. I would MUCH rather stay here again than any hotel in the area. It was awesome, and we will stay again for Armory Week next year!
There was plenty of space for us, our luggage and clothes, etc. We were also very appreciative of the toiletries: makeup remover wipes, tampons, q-tips, fresh towels, chamomile soap, shampoo, etc. GREAT hospitality!
Marco was super-prompt about communication, and his adorable mom Linda and brother Daniel greeted me upon arrival and helped me get settled in.
I am an introvert and a former New Yorker, so I didn’t make any attempts to hang out and didn’t need any help finding my way around, but the HUNDREDS of notes from folks all over the world tell me that these Airbnb hosts are TOP NOTCH at being helpful and hospitable.
Thanks Marco & Linda!!
