While we can't attest to the sunny attribute (we were never in during the day times!), we can attest to its homey quality. It was a great place to return home to after a long day walking around Manhattan and it had everything we needed. It's a comfortable and slightly oldskool apartment that Viviana and her family have been able to make feel like a home. The hosting was behind-the-scenes but approachable and that's what we needed. So overall, great experience and would stay again if I could come back to NY!
