Marea was a wonderful host who personally sat with us to make sure we had everything we needed, offered us suggestions for places to eat and visit, and a couple glasses of New York wine. The location was perfect to visit sites in different areas of the city by either walking or taking an Uber/Lyft. Marea's place was great for all 9 of us to be able to have one common place to be together for our trip rather than in separate hotel rooms. One of our favorite things about the place was the garden out back to be able to have our morning coffee and to relax in the afternoon/evening after a day of sightseeing. I would highly recommend Marea's for anyone traveling to New York with a larger group.
