Marcello was a great host. He met me at the apartment and gave me tour of the neighborhood. Marcello also made check-in and check-out very easy. He also checked in by text and responded quickly to any questions. The apartment is the perfect location (neat Times Square, Broadway theaters, Subway, and the Port Authority.) Since its is on the 5th floor street noise is not a problem. (Note: there is no elevator) The apartment was very clean Marcello provides all the basics that one might need during their stay. The neighborhood was surprisingly very quiet and and anything you could possibly need is very close by. Marcello goes out of his way to sure his guests are comfortable. Next time I visit NYC I will definitely try to stay at Marcello's place once again.
