Mario's place was very spacious and clean. This was my very first time staying in an airbnb, so I was unsure what to expect. His communication with us was good. The subway is close, but it's a good 45-60 minute ride from New York City.. something I would have liked to know before booking this place. The neighbor hood was said to be quiet, but unfortunately there was a block party the second night we stayed. After a long, tiring day, my friends and I wanted nothing but to sleep.. and couldn't, because the DJ was right outside the apartment window. Overall, good experience, but would have been nice to know how far the subway was from Times Square and that there was a block party to be happening.
