My sister and I were in New York for about 3 days, and we had a lot to do, which made the proximity of Georgia and Ben's place a great plus! Only thing was that the room was very small, and more suited to one person; but if you want to save on expense and don't mind a tight squeeze, it's a good option. We didn't see Giorgia at all during our stay, but Ben was there to welcome us when we arrived and helped us get our massive luggage in- He also very graciously allowed me to order my amazon packages to the place before I arrived and followed up with me after we left regarding some small item I left behind.
