Mariana place was a perfect spot especially for 4th of July. Having the rooftop access was the main selling point. The value of the place is great as long as you have the privacy. Luckily we did as she was not there during our stay. She does have many expectations and alot of rules that are posted on sticky notes throughout the apartment which sort of felt restrictive bc alot of it was common sense which unfortunately some guests dont have and alot of it was preference like leave shoes in hallway and respect seafood allergy. The bed was comfortable though the sheets came off bc they were too shallow. The apartment was HOT so thank goodness for the AC unit in the room!!! The location literally can't be beat- it is in a prime east village location close St. Marks, bars, restaraunts and STOMP. I asked Marianna several questions throughout my stay and she answered promptly. Some of my requests weren't honored but that's also because I didn't plan accordingly and I think if I did, she would have accommodated. Overall, I would stay at Mariannas place again!
