I did not meet Marcello but his neighbor Enzo took care of everything. He met me outside the door and gave me the keys upon my arrival. The apartment is as describe and looks exactly like the pictures. The place was clean (sans one unemptied trash can), about 30 feet from the closest subway, and in the heart of Times Square. I had no issues whatsoever in the apartment. It was very quiet - hardly any noise from outside made its way to the apartment. I had a great experience. Thanks Marcello.
