I had a great stay at Marcello's apartment.
Communication was very easy through airbnb / whatsapp /phone, Marcello was so kind to me at the bus stop (the apartment is few steps away from Port Authority Bus Terminal) and helped me to carry my bags upstairs (the apartment is on the 5th floor).
The studio isn't big but it is nicely design and is perfect for a single traveller. Again, it is on the high floor and facing to the back of the building, so there's hardly any street noise.
The location is perfect, very close to Times Square and several subway lines.
Overall, I enjoyed a lot staying at Marcello's apartment. Great value for money!
