I brought my husband to NYC for his first time. We stayed at Marie's apartment for a few days because it was in a nice, quiet neighborhood and close to a lot of places we wanted to visit. Marie's apartment was perfect for our needs, which were basically a place to sleep and clean-up, before our NYC adventures. For the price, cleanliness and ability to get out of the hustle and bustle of most areas, I'd recommend Marie's place. Marie is very attentive and had her apartment clean and ready to go when we arrived.
