Marie’s place was great! Very modern and clean. I absolutely LOVED that there was a washing machine and dryer in the apartment. So rare in nyc. The apartment is pretty much bare so it was really easy to make it feel like my own space! I loved the location because it was close to 125th street, cafes, grocery store and bodegas. One thing to note is that it is a busy street in terms of people. I really enjoyed everyone on the block. They are kind, talkative and helpful. However, you will get hit on and talked to a lot when you walk down the road. So, if you like to be left alone then take a right out of the building and go around back. The projects are across the street, so if that’s a problem for you then I wouldn’t book. The bathroom door didn’t close all the way for some reason; probably an easy fix but I never asked because it was just me so I didn’t care. Subways and bus are about 10-12 minute walk. TV stopped working about halfway through my trip. You need an Amazon account to have access to it and for some reason mine wasn’t working and host didn’t have one to use. Again, not an issue for me because I wasn’t there to watch tv but something to note. Apartment was cleaned halfway through my trip which I loved because you get new towels and the floors mopped! Overall, this place is perfect for long term or short stay with a single person or couple. Thanks Marie!
