Maria seems to be a very nice and friendly host. She went the extra mile to help us find parking on two occasions and even helped us carry one of our luggage late at night from the car park. She seems to be proactive - while she doesn't speak English fluently, she used her cell phone translator to communicate verbally.
The place was very clean, and organized, and is close to the bus/train station. The parking was hard to find but it's NYC. Overall, we had a nice experience staying at her place. I'd recommend it to anyone. Muchas Gracias, Maria!
