Franco is an excellent host! The description matched the actual place and the neighborhood is awesome! It is close enough to all of the action while not being directly in the thick of things. Franco was very communicative and hospitable. His home was well-stocked and very clean. The kitchen is ample and the bed is very comfortable. The bathroom is also very cute. The fifth floor walkup is a trek, but gives you an authentic NYC experience plus a workout! Laundromat is across the street. Coffee and Dinner options are on the block as well as on surrounding blocks. I would definitely stay here again! Thanks, Franco! :)
