Marian is a great host! She is a great resource for someone new to New York City and would do her best to answer any questions I had. The room is exactly as described and the apartment itself is in a great location only about a block away from the subway and around 20 minutes from Manhattan. There are several laundry mats and grocery stores within walking distance as well. Would recommend Marian's airbnb to anyone new or returning to NYC looking to experience life in the big apple.
