The apartment was exactly as described on the listing. It was very clean and comfortable and in a great location for exploring Manhattan. West Chelsea itself is a great neighbourhood, with lots of great options nearby for eating and drinking. Marino was an excellent host, very communicative throughout the whole process. He was waiting to greet us when we arrived and explained the apartment process and nearby neighbourhood in great detail. I would have no hesitation on recommending Marino as a host or using his apartment again if I'm in NYC.
