Mari M's apartment was exactly as described. It is very a spacious studio with a small kitchen and bath. When I arrived Mari M greeted me and carried my overpacked suitcase up the final flight. The studio is a third floor walk-up; the stairs have a small landing in the middle of each flight and are covered in ceramic tile with sturdy bannisters. The apartment was very clean and had all the necessary items like paper products, dishes and pots, clean towel and sheets, hair dryer, Netflix, wireless, full length mirror, good lighting, etc. It was April so the heat was still on, which was good because we had cold NYC mornings and warm afternoons. The upper West side neighborhood is absolutely delightful with shops, banks, restaurants, a grocery store, public transportation, and deli food. Very close to Museum of Natural History. Mari was a wonderful host and even left me eggs in the refrigerator!
