We were desperate to find a convenient place to get to a wedding in lower Manhattan after another AIR bnb host cancelled on us last minute. Maria was very responsive, really flexible, totally available, and made the stress of the cancellation (on Marathon weekend, no less!) dissipate. The place is located on a quiet street where street parking on a weekend was actually no problem, even when we got there late in the evening. That was unexpected and helpful. The apartment itself is a refuge, simple and elegant, with everything we needed. Maria was super-communicative, really understanding, and helped us to fully enjoy what would have otherwise been a really hectic weekend. Highly highly recommended!
