Marie's place is brilliantly located, and she provided the perfect base from which we were able to explore New York City. The characterful apartment is a far cry from a New York City Hotel, thankfully! The apartment has layers of authenticity and brilliant style that will suit you if you are happy within a creative environment. It so helpful to have access to the kitchen to make a cup of tea, which allowed me to feel comfortable. I reccomend it to anyone who loves "living like a local"-style travel, and wants to be able to hop on the C Line Subway in minutes.
