My wife, our pup and I recently had a wonderful month stay at Francesco’s lovely apartment. The communication with Francesco and his property manager was superb - both were very fast to respond.
The apartment itself was incredibly clean when we checked-in. It was very evident that whoever cleaned it took their time in doing so thoroughly. We appreciated the ample amount of pots, pans, dishes and silverware readily at our disposal - everything we needed for a longterm stay and not feel the need to dine out every night. I used the time to primarily telework, and the Internet speed was more than able to accommodate my videoconferencing calls with ease. An added benefit is that the dinning table is situated next to the window with a wonderful view of the church and daily life taking place on the street.
The neighborhood is El Barrio, it’s a working class neighborhood that represent the demographic of NYC. There will be people sitting outside on their stoops as an extension of their living space. Some people may feel uncomfortable with this, but it’s authentic NYC that gentrification has yet to encroach. We did not feel threaten in anyway and everyone we came into contact with was lovely. Additional benefits of the neighborhood is that it is only a 10-minute walk to Central Park and there is a metro right around the corner.
We appreciated the opportunity to have called Francesco’s home ours for the month. We will have no hesitation renting again if the opportunity presents itself - and you should not hesitate either!
