Anamaria's place was clean and beautiful. She has an artist's eye and the apartment felt warm and welcoming, decorated with gorgeous art and beautiful book shelves. The rooms were very large and the place felt spacious. The place was also close to a Target, where we picked up groceries and was walking distance to the subway.
The place was also child friendly. My nephew is four and he really liked being there.
Anamaria was excellent with communication. Prior to arriving, I asked many questions and she was always prompt and gracious in answering them. She was not in town when I checked in and out, but had a friend in the building meet me to check us in. Her friend was very kind and helpful.
Street parking can be a challenge all over NYC, we did not have trouble finding street parking right in front of the building, partly because the rules aren't as strict on the weekends. It was a challenge on the day there was a game at Yankee stadium, we had to drive around a bit before we found something.
After my stay I did provide feedback about the limited lighting in the bedroom and how it was a challenge. Anamaria responded promptly, saying she would buy a floor lamp to solve the problem.
The area was safe and lively. For those who want to see other parts of NYC outside of Manhattan, check out the Bronx. It is a vibrant and diverse borough. I would recommend it!
