Maris place is excellent! Its in a very nice neighbourhood, only blocks away from Central Park and metro stations which is one of the most important things in Manhattan. As for the place itself its very cosy and you certainly feel at home at once. The bed matress is very good and you really rest during your sleep. The only underside is the building's soundproofing, but thats the case in all NY style appartents.
Mari is a very good host, very helpful with anything we needed and always there to answer our questions.
If you're looking for a place to stay in NYC, we highly recommend that you check it out.
