We had a great stay at Mariana's place.
Although it's small (by Non-NY standards) it was very clean, tidy and well cared for.

We had everything we needed for our 8 nt stay. Mariana left linens for us, organised the keys and excellent directions to the apartment and other tips for the area.

The bed is really good, the sofa was comfy and there was a fridge that we could use. The bathroom is tight, but was clean and hot water was hot.

The subway is 3 short blocks away, so it's really convenient. For anyone craving a 'proper' coffee while in the States, there's a great little coffee place opposite, and the whole area is buzzing with restaurants, cafes, bars and shops.

The nightclub that's mentioned in other reviews has closed, so there wasn't the noise problem that others reported.

Mariana checked in with us throughout our stay and made us feel really at home.

It was a great base for us and worked out really well.
