You can’t beat Maria’s East Village location, situated on a quiet street covered in ivy, mere minutes from some of NYC’s hot spots. Bagels, boba, smoothie bowls, upscale dining, casual coffee shops…all a short walk away. It’s also close to convenient subway stops that take you straight to the other hearts of the city, no transferring necessary.
The apartment itself is clean and spacious, with a lovely garden patio and two strong AC units to keep cool during the summer heat. The brick kitchen was gorgeous, as was the tiled bathroom.
Maria was a great host, responsive to any questions I had.
My only complaint, which wouldn’t deter me from staying, but is worth noting, is Maria’s dog. Her dog spends the majority of its time in their entryway, on the same floor as the rental. It barks a lot when people pass by outside, and every morning around 7 it woke me up. It’s the cutest dog and I have dogs that bark, but some may not appreciate it.
