I just arrived home from a fabulous trip to NYC and could not be happier with Marina's apartment! She was very quick in her communications and went the extra mile in making sure I was able to check in early (I arrived from the red-eye, so 7:00 am) and late.
Her place is exactly as shown in the photos and as described. The neighborhood is the BEST! Bustling with great restaurants and bars, and so dog-friendly! I had my fur-baby with me (9 pound chihuahua mix).
Even though you are in the heart of it all, Marina's place is QUIET! Perfect, right?
Some things to note:
* There is no elevator, so be prepared to walk up to her 4th floor. I had no issues with the stairs at all, in fact, I was grateful for the daily mini-workout!
*The mattress and pillows are FIRM and SO COMFORTABLE. Seriously, the best sleep I think I ever had! But if you prefer a soft mattress, this may not be your idea of comfort. I honestly do not know HOW anyone would not like it though!
*There is no bathtub. This is not a deal-breaker for me at all, and her bathroom and shower are sparkly clean! BUT if you are the type of person who needs to soak in a hot tub at the end of your day, you will not have this option.
*There are so many extras, you will feel like it's your own place and Marina even added chocolates to the pillows!
I will definitely be back to NYC and if her beautiful place is available again, Stella and me will be here!
Thank you, Marina!
