Mariko is an awesome host and is very reliable. She answered any questions or concerns promptly and always made sure we were comfortable staying at her place.
The location is great. It’s right next to central park, close to an express line, quiet and easy neighborhood with alot of conveniences around.
The apartment is great for visiting new york. It’s a bit harder to stay longer term as the common space is very limited and cooking in the limited space was a challenge. However you can make it work if you need to.
