Giampiero's apartment is a nicely furnished full floor in a cute townhouse in a wonderful part of the UES. The street is beautiful and close to the park, as well as a lot of great restaurants, shops, coffee places plus a 5 minute walk to the subway. It's pretty ideal and very central. There are a lot of stairs but if you are prepared and agile enough you will be fine. My daughter and I stayed here for 10 days while she was in a summer school program nearby - the apartment is well stocked and Giampiero was very responsive to our needs. The hot water in the shower is a bit hit or miss and the water pressure is weak but adequate. The only issue we had was after a week my husband and son joined us for the last 3 nights, and I made the mistake of letting Giampiero know they were coming. He then informed me I had to pay $175 extra PER PERSON PER NIGHT, even for my 10yo son. That brought the total per night to $800 which was ridiculous for this apartment and honestly felt like absolute extortion. After such a lovely stay we left with a bad feeling (and shame on me for being honest/transparent, but shame on him for enforcing this bs per-person nightly fee, even for a very small child).
