Violeta's place was wonderful for a long weekend trip to NYC! The apartment is VERY conveniently and closely located near a metro station, so it was very easy to get around town by subway. There are also some great restaurants, a Lidl, and a Rite Aid an easy 5-10 minute walk up the street. The room is just enough space for two people, the bed is comfortable, the bathroom was bright and clean, and there was a shelf in the fridge all for us. We did not end up needing to use the kitchen, but it was offered to us if need be. I will say it gets a bit toasty if the weather is warm, but we did just fine with the breeze from an open window. Self check-in was easy to do once we found the main door to the apartment building, and we had a set of keys for ourselves. The building requires a fob to get in the main doors, so we felt safe. We had a wonderful time, and it was great for the price - especially considering we were there for marathon weekend!
