Communicating with Marcelo was very easy and he responded quickly to all my messages. We stayed at Marcelo's for a week. The room is very nice and provided with all amenities. There is a closet with hangers and a drawer which makes it easy to put away your clothes. The towels smelled nice and clean and there was a blow dryer that we could use. Marcelo also made some space in the kitchen and fridge where we could put our things. The room is very bright in the morning so it might be a good idea to bring a sleeping mask, if you want to sleep in. The house is very clean, warm (important in cold winter months!) and Marcelo made us feel comfortable and at home. The house is well located near a lot of Subway stations. Within 10 minutes you're in lower Manhattan. We couldn't have wished for a better place to stay in NY and would definitely recommend this listing to others!
