The location couldn't be better - just a block away from Times Square. The apartment is small but functional, with everything you need for your basics - a place to sleep, kitchen, iron. Most importantly it had air conditioning, as it was very hot and humid when I was there and I really benefited from the cool air. It's a five floor walkup, so just be aware there's no elevator. Marcello had his friend meet me as he was out of town, and the key handoff was easy. The building isn't a fancy building at all, but I was looking primarily for location and economy, which is exactly what I got. Worked out great for me!
