Maria's apartment was in great conditions and really comfortable. The neighborhood is super nice and near many metro stations, so it was easy to get no any part of the city and really fast. It takes 20 minutes to get to Times Square. There are many places to eat near the apartment and to buy groceries Trader Joe's is the best. We were 4 people staying in Maria's apartment and the only issue was that the bathroom was inside the main bedroom so for more than 2 people can be an issue. It was fine for us. The apartment has great heat system so you won't feel any cold in there. We had a great time in Maria's apartment and we'd come back! Thanks!
