My boyfriend and I spent 14 nights at Marjorie's apartment. Marjorie had been a great host, very warm and welcoming. She was there to greet us when we arrived and showed us around the apartment. We truly appreciate that she was flexible with our check-in and check-out times. She would check in on us almost everyday to ensure that we were comfortable with our stay.
The apartment is exactly as described. The location is perfect, walkable distance to Broadway and Times Square, and 5 to 10 minutes' walk to the subway stations. If you are traveling to NYC for the first time and have some concerns on the safety, rest assured that this is a safe neighborhood so there is no need for a doorman in the building. The apartment is surrounded by restaurants, bars, grocery store etc. which is very convenient to us.
It is suitable for couple who aims to explore the city and experience the local living. It is a cosy apartment. We enjoyed the cable tv, wi-fi and Marjorie's collection of books. The bathroom is neither small nor crammed as some reviewers mentioned - this we speak from our own personal experience staying with hotels in European cities.
Perhaps the only inconvenience would be getting your suitcases up the stairs as there is no elevator in the building but not exactly an issue to us because first of all, we have been made fully aware of that as it has been disclosed in the listing and secondly, you just need to do it once upon arrival and check-out.
Overall we had a pleasant stay in Marjorie's apartment.
