My sister and I had a great stay at Marco's place! We really liked the area and the fact that we could walk to the theater district and the subway pretty quickly. Marco gave great directions, and we were able to find the place easily. His mom checked us in, explained a few things and gave us some bottled water. She was very nice. The room was just what we needed, considering we didn't spend a lot of time there (we were out and about). As you can see from the pictures, the bathroom area is separated from the room by a curtain, which was fine for us. The room is very clean and well kept and had everything we needed. Marco had replaced the couch seen in the pictures with a desk, which actually gives you more space and a great place to set your stuff. The room faces the street, so there's a bit of street noise but I'm a real sound sleeper and my sister (a light sleeper) slept just fine with a pair of earplugs. It was a great trip and Marco and his family were great hosts. Marco was always very quick to respond to any of our questions and we would love to stay here again if we ever make it back to NYC.
