We stayed at Francesco's during two nights in may.
The location, not far from north Central Park is really good and close to subway line 6 so you can easily move to other places.
The area is cool with some small good restaurants as the Italian one Francesco suggested us.
The apartment is nice and typical, well furnished with sufficient space and Francesco is a really nice host, very welcoming and speak-easy, answering quickly to our questions.
We had a great time there so do not hesitate to book.
