We stayed at Mari's place for five nights and felt at home a cosy in the small apartment. Though it has the size of a larger hotel room it has it all; nice bed, good bathroom and small kitchen. We loved the Upper West side neighbourhood, especially that it was VERY close to Central Park for our morning jogging and the metro. Mari was very nice and friendly when we arrived, and we felt that we could contact her if we needed anything. For one person or a couple we can recommend Mari's apartment as a nice stay in a good Manhattan spot.
