Alberto offered self check-in, which was easy and very helpful. He allowed me to check in early, and was easygoing and easy to deal with. He kept his word about communication, timing and apartment details. His roommate was unobtrusive and quiet, and I had the place to myself on weekdays until 10pm.
I recommend this listing if you want a city view, privacy and quiet (except for a bit of traffic noise with windows closed, which you're going to get anywhere). I found it a very comfortable and relaxing space to renew my energy to go out and see another show! More than I would have hoped for in NYC for the price.
