Maria was really responsive and easy to communicate with, and we were able to work out a key exchange days before my stay as I was already in town for work. She checked in just enough to make sure everything was okay. The neighborhood could not be better, it has both the necessities (corner stores, bottle shops, etc) and the fun stuff (boutiques, restaurants). It was so ungodly cold that weekend with the polar vortex in town, so it was super great when we just couldn't face the cold to pop downstairs for noodles or burgers or coffee or whatever. Nice amount of space for a couple (for New York.)
