Maria's apartment was just what my husband and I needed for our short weekend getaway to NYC. It was a wonderfully clean and welcoming space with all the amenities you could want or need from a studio apartment. We mostly were concerned with a safe place where we could stay and park our car off street so I can't personally speak to the ease of connecting to public transportation, but there are easy options close by for any transportation needs you'd have. Maria was the consummate host. She included so many thoughtful and nice touches (just wait until you taste her homemade cakes!) including a welcoming basket of fruit and a handwritten note with breakfast options close by after we'd inquired late in the day for good suggestions. Maria was very communicative and the check in process was so easy. All the information you'd need to feel at home was readily available. The apartment was just as we would have expected from the photos. The bed was comfortable, the AC kept us cool, and the bathroom was clean and tidy. We could have certainly stayed here for a week and would have enjoyed cooking in the little eat in kitchen and enjoying the beautifully manicured backyard patio area had we more time. The neighborhood was very quiet and safe. We highly recommend Maria's place and we will certainly look her up the next time we are in NYC!
