I was in NYC with a friend, and Mariana's place was perfect for our needs. It is very small, but has everything you would need even for an extended stay. The location of the apartment is a big plus if you enjoy the bar scene, and it is a short walk to the 2 AV. subway which is convenient to head uptown.

Mariana was responsive and friendly, and apologetic about the loud construction going on in the hallway (inquire about this if you wish to sleep in on weekdays). Overall, we has a fine experience and there were no issues.
