I needed a last minute place in NYC for the holidays and Maria's place was just perfect! From the host to the room, everything was great. When I arrived I was welcome by Maria and she was so lovely and pleasant. She showed me around the common areas and then to my room, which was WOW - extremely spacious, for the price! And it was super comfortable!!!! The room and entire apt was very cute and felt very much like home. It was very clean and quiet. Location was also central and very easy to get to most parts of Manhattan. Lots of bars and restaurants in the area to eat/drink. I very much enjoyed my stay at Maria's and if I need a place again in NYC I'll surely be staying here again.
