Though Marcello was on travel he really responded to my emails immediately and really friendly. His friend Enzo who lives in the same building greeted me drag my monster of luggage 5 floors up and showed me arround. He also helped me with any questions I had and made me really felt welcome !! The apartement though small has everything you need and smokers can use the fire stairs to smoke outside without having to do the trip down :) The apartement is around the corner of port authority and close to subways, restaurant, shops and just everything you are looking for in NYC. I really enjoyed the stay and will be back next time. Thanks Marcello and especially to you Enzo you are an amazing person and I I really enjoyed my stay !!! Martina
