We had a lovely time in New York--Ana Maria is a kind and generous host and very willing to share information and answer questions. The apartment is exactly as described and just right for two--comfortable, with everything you need. It is in a quiet, safe neighbourhood, close to buses and subway stations, museums Central Park, and great restaurants. She provided us with breakfast for the first day and a few basic necessities in the fridge too. I highly recommend her place to anyone and would certainly stay there again if we are back in New York someday.
