I think what I loved the most about Marta's was the beautiful street she lives on, it's classic New York brownstone with stoops and trees which was just what I imagined. It's quite rickety and you can hear the neighbours but its all part of the charm! There was a change of arrangement after I booked which meant I had to take Marta's room instead of the one I intended, however her room is lovely, light, cosy and comfortable so it worked out well. We didn't get to speak much as I was out most of the days but she was friendly and chatty when I did see her. The place is incredibly well located too, loads of subway lines go straight there. Overall I recommend and miss NY already!
