I just completed a two-week stay at Ana Maria’s cute and cozy studio in the best neighborhood in NYC. Ana Maria was a wonderful host who communicated quickly and effectively right from the initial contact. Check in was simple and straightforward. The space is on the small side, probably best for a single traveler or a couple, but very well-appointed, convenient to subway and bus lines, and surrounded by restaurants of every sort and variety, as well as shops and grocery markets. The queen sized bed was super comfy, and there were plenty of clean linens and towels available. I also appreciated that there were proper curtains in front of the window, which allowed enough darkness for proper sleep, and that the studio was immaculately clean upon my arrival. Located on a quiet block without a lot of through traffic, and the building itself was also very quiet. There was an issue with heat in the first couple of days of my stay, which was promptly taken care of by Ana Maria’s family member who was handling things while she was out of town. This is not out of the ordinary for older buildings in NYC, and I was provided a great space heater while the repair got done. As a former resident of this neighborhood I did not need a lot of hosting, but Ana Maria and her family member checked in several times to see how things were going, which was very considerate. Highly recommended and I would definitely like to stay there again on future trips to NYC!
