Marjorie’s place is awesome! It has all the amenities of a hotel, but without the price. The private room & bathroom are big, bright and very clean. There is a Keurig coffee maker with lots of coffee (and all the fixings including half & half). Plus a microwave, mini fridge, blow dryer, towels, etc. The room has WIFI, but does not have a TV, however, I actually prefer that as it forces you to disconnect and be “on vacation”’. Majorie even has a book with notes about the area, maps and NYC site seeing information.
Marjorie is an amazing host. She was great at quickly communicating with me, answering all my questions before and during my stay. I stayed there while running the NYC marathon and she and her husband even came to cheer me on! Check-in was easy and she even allowed us to store our bags there after check-out, as we had a late departure.
The AirBnB is close to the subway line, so it was very easy to get to wherever we needed to go. There are many restaurants, grocery stores and shops, within a block or 2 of her place if you need anything. Even though the location is in a poorer area, we felt safe walking around even at night.
I highly recommend Marjorie’s place and will definitely stay there again when I visit NYC!
