My daughter and I had a wonderful 3 week stay at Maria's UWS apartment! She met us there at check in to tour the apartment and give us all the information we would need about the apartment and the area. Maria was also available and quick to respond via text to any questions we had during our stay. The apartment is very spacious for NYC and very comfortable. Everything that you would need in an apartment is provided and there is ample room for your personal belongings. Maria also has Netflixs, which we enjoyed when winding down at night. There is an elevator in the building which is wonderful when coming home after a long day of exploring the city. The area is wonderful....grocery store and 24 hour deli/convenience store across the street, multiple restaurants all along the block, coffee shop 1 block away and Central Park on the end of the avenue. Transportation is easy as well with two subway stops only a few blocks away. The neighborhood is extremely safe and all the residents are very friendly. We had no problems walking to and from the area at any time of the day/night. We loved everything about the apartment and the area and highly recommend Maria as a host! We would love to stay again the next time we are in NYC!
