I stayed at Maria's place with two other friends. The location was very convenient and we had the living room area all to ourselves. We had plenty of space for personal use but we were also out and about exploring NYC. Maria was super kind and told us all about how to navigate NYC and the different neighborhoods and whatnot. A previous review was correct -- the outlet in the bathroom does not work but that did not hinder us. I highly recommend Maria's spot if you are looking for an affordable place to stay with a fantastic view.
