We had a very comfortable stay in Claudio’s house with Vinny as a host living in the basement of the house. The house is located in a calm area and we always felt safe even when coming back home late. The room was bright, nice and clean. The shared areas like the spacious kitchen, living room, and bathroom were also comfortable and clean. It’s easy to get to central Manhattan by metro. Vinny was very friendly and we could always tell or message him if we needed anything. On our last day, we could stay longer during the day than the checkout time at 11 am would have been as no guests arrived early that afternoon. Definitely recommend to stay there!
