Marcia and her family are THE SWEETEST. I’d literally give this a 5 star rating on that alone. They were all so very inviting/welcoming. Marcia was there to greet me when I arrived. She made sure I had water when I first got in and her and her husband offered to help me carry my stuff in. This is a newer space for them, so there were items in various states of completion. Nothing crazy and nothing that detracts from the stay. They’re just making updates and changes to make it more homey. I know someone else mentioned it in a review, too. No doubt it’ll all be done soon. Please don’t let this fact deter your staying here. It truly is great. And, if I actually need to do this review on something more than the family … the bed is brand new and comfy as hell. The shower has some of the best water pressure ever, and has a high enough tub you could take a genuine bath, if you so desire. The building is secure, but love that guests get their own key fob. So, you can come and go as you want. Parking was super convenient. I was able to find a street spot two buildings down - so, quick walk to the door. But could also find it on the surrounding blocks when spots were taken on the street. There are two parking garages fairly close - one actually right behind. I didn’t use those, but am sure they’re pretty standard nyc parking garages. lol. Like Marcia said in her listing, everything you could possibly need is readily available around the neighborhood. Marcia’s place will definitely be my first stop when I need to stay in the city going forward.
