Although I never personally met my host, Marino, I was greeted by his good friend, with a big smile, upon my arrival. The apartment is not only in an ideal location, but a great alternative to the all white, micro-hotel rooms, so often found in NYC. It is comfortable, clean, and has a couple of deli's within 50 feet of the from door. With the High Line behind the building, the Chelsea Park across the street. and convenient subway stops a couple blocks away, I'm not sure what else a visitor could possibly desire. If I return to this part of town again, I am certain, I would first check to see if this place was available.
