Marisa and Colin's place was exactly what we needed to get settled in in New York. We booked the house for a month (and also received a healthy discount of 35% for block-booking!) while we looked for a more permanent place to stay. Marisa was kind enough to even block out an additional 2 weeks for us at the flat, at no extra cost, in case we didn't find a flat in time. In the end we managed to find a flat sooner than anticipated, and Marisa was kind enough to amend the booking so we could leave sooner than the original check-out date and not have to pay double rent for the AirBnB and our other flat!
Overall our time at the flat was extremely comfortable and enjoyable, and we were sad to leave it behind. Marisa was very responsive with any questions we had, and provided lots of helpful tips about the area and generally living in New York in the house manual that she had prepared for us.
There are lots of furniture in the house, as well as many appliances that you may need: iron + board, washing machine + dryer (rare in NYC!), tv and basic cable channels, coffee maker, cutlery / dishes / cooking pots, portable air-conditioning to keep cool in the summer, etc.
I really don't have many bad things to say about the flat, but if I was being picky, the location is a bit of a walk from the metro stations (around 10-15 mins to any station). But this wasn't an issue at all for us, as we enjoyed walking, and you have access to almost all metro lines in New York (via York Street, Jay Street or DeKalkb Avenue). There are bus stops closer to the house, but I'm not sure where they go as we rarely took them (there is one right outside the house that takes you straight to IKEA though!). Other things to consider is there is currently construction going on next door, but it's not too disruptive as you only occasionally hear some bangs or drilling noises (during weekdays only).
I would highly recommend Marisa and Colin's place if you ever visit NYC!
