Maria was a warm and hospitable host. She was responsive to special requests such as early check-in. She provided a cosy space for me to be in. She gave me natural tea to help me recover from travel sickness. I found her space great to crash at night, while I was gone to the city during the day. Just a note — the nearest subway station is a 10-minute walk, while the nearest Starbucks is a 15-minute walk (Queens Bl & 46th Street).
