Maria has a sweet apartment, a short walk from two subway stations for trains into Manhattan. The building is super safe, has a lift to the 5th floor. Maria was super welcoming, showed me around, then left me to settle in. She had even borrowed a hairdryer for me. For summer guests the bedroom is a bit light in the mornings, and a curtain would be welcome if you are a light sleeper. The tub is super welcome after sightseeing in the city, heaps of hot water!
