Francesca was the perfect hostess. Someone was always available if we needed anything. The apartment was simply awesome. Far enough away from the tourist section for relaxation and close enough to subway stops to get to and from downtown. We enjoyed our stay with Francesca and would recommend this listing to anyone who wants a spacious, affordable place to stay while in New York. Several restaurants and diners in the area so you could get service without the long wait we found in downtown.
