first of all, hands down, this place is located in an awesome area... it is literally the center of the night life in NYC and very safe as well... it's a hip, lovely, and cool area, and tons of restaurants, bars, clubs everywhere. the apartment is lovely, clean and most importantly organized. it's a tiny place but for all the attractions around you and the price you're praying, it's a total bargain! you also get your own privacy as well since mariana is very respectful and considerate. Mariana is not only a down to earth friendly fun enthusiastic girl but extremely smart and so easy to get along with. the host is a professional so she is away during the day, and you get to use the kitchen of course as long as you clean after you.
