I had a pleasant stay at Piero's place. The bedroom and bath were clean. I suggest you bring toilet papers and hand soap as the host does not provide those necessities. Bring earplugs if you are light sleepers. The apartment is literally in the center of NYC so it's pretty noisy even at night. It's less than a mile walk to Times Square and right on top of a very good Italian restaurant, Mercato. You will never have to worry about being bored and hungry. Highly recommended!
