"A Suite Retreat in the City."

In the hustle and bustle that is Midtown, New York I luckily found myself in a meticulously clean, well-decorated photographer's loft. Gaetano's loft to be specific. :-).

I've stayed in several AirBnBs and his is hands down the most hotel like -- very clean, tv/internet, towels, entry way with open closet, fancy coffee maker, desk, sitting area, and more. Plus good security - there were several locks and you need a key to use the elevator so I felt very secure. The style of the suite is lovely too, it's a mix of modern and vintage... very well decorated, which is ALWAYS appreciated.

::LOCATION & FOOD::
Gaetano's loft is somehow perfectly located between 3 areas-- in general it's Midtown - close to Time Square/Herald Square. It's also in the Garment District (exit left) and in Hell's Kitchen (exit right). It was easy to get to any part of New York-- I traveled to the Upper Eastside, Chelsea, SOHO, and Downtown in minutes via Uber/Lyft (depends on traffic of course).

Lots of restaurants around for different budgets. I discovered a placed called MadMan Espresso across the street which was good (I downloaded the CUPS app and used the code "F V V 5 X" to get a free coffee and a $10 credit.). I went to Best Bagels for breakfast. I usually had dinner at the work event I attended, if not I'd go the cheap route and get 2 slices of pizza & soda for $3 at 2 Bros Pizza. There are WAY more options than I just named of course and Gaetano has a "Guide Book" for his AirB&B listing too.

::ETC::
You share the bathroom, but I didn't mind because of how clean everything was. The rest of his space is nice too, you might catch him busy working away in his photography studio as I did. Oh, and he has a gorgeous cat named Samantha-- she's a total sweetie. :)

Gaetanos's communication is great. He responds quickly which is always very much appreciated from an AirBnB host.

::SUMMARY::
This slice of heaven in Hell's Kitchen was great. The space is clean, the ceilings are high, there's coffee-- what's not to love! Gaetano and Samantha are wonderful hosts. I look forward to staying here again! :-)

PS - The suite looked a little too perfect online when I first saw it. I thought to myself, "there's no way it looks exactly as pictured..." well guys-- it looked EXACTLY as pictured, lol, it was perfect. THANK YOU!
