First off- the place was super clean, smelled amazing! Also it’s in a super safe building/area. I walked day and night and never felt unsafe. The location is prime, you can walk to Times Square and other great NY attractions!
Now here comes the crazy experience- I unfortunately misplaced my wallet the second night there. With it- Gia’s keys, my phone, credit cards and ID. I texted Gia at 2am and at 2am from all the way in Florida she responded. She was the most understanding, supporting and helpful person. Due to me not having an ID I was unable to fly back when I was supposed to and Gia amazingly offered me to stay with her another night. I am so glad I got to meet her in person because she’s one of the best human beings I’ve known. I am so happy to say that in this trip I gained a friend! I truly don’t know what I would’ve done in this situation without her.
Do not hesitate to stay at Gia’s if you’re in NY. Not only the place is amazing, clean, great location, safe and super close to the subway but also the host will communicate with you and help with whatever’s needed at any time. I can’t thank Gia enough for everything she did for me during that panicking time! I will be back to truly enjoy NY soon and will be staying here again!
Tip- don’t bring all your IDs out when you travel!
