The apartment is an oasis of calm and thoughtful touches. Maribel provides starter food and beverages, robes, and many other amenities you wouldn't expect for the price. This apartment is perfectly positioned for subway to downtown and buses on the museum mile and Central Park. Quality groceries, produce, gifts, and great restaurants are all within walking distance. The neighborhood is very diverse and friendly. Us oldsters always felt welcome here. I highly recommend it as a base in New York.
