Very nice, cozy place that had everything we needed for a comfortable weeklong stay in NYC. The neighborhood is safe and people were friendly. The majority of the neighborhood is Spanish-speaking, but we were usually able to find someone to communicate with in stores, restaurants, etc. The apartment is on the third floor and there is no elevator, so walking upstairs every evening after a long day of exploring the city could be a pain. Wi-fi worked great and the tv in the living room was a large flatscreen and there is a bedroom tv, but we never used it. Thankfully I brought my own streaming device to watch movies, etc. since one wasn’t provided. There are two beds in the bedroom- a full size and a twin and both were very comfortable. A couple of complaints that are outside the host’s control - it takes a very long time for the water to get hot in the shower and one day it never did get hot, so my wife and I had to take cold showers. Also, there is a serious lack of electrical outlets in the apartment. The one outlet in the bathroom didn’t work, so my wife had to blow dry her hair in the kitchen. Despite these factors, the host was very attentive when we messaged her and the price was amazing for NYC. Subway and train stops are each a few blocks away, so some walking is necessary, but that’s expected. Not many cabs come to the area, so we used Lyft when we didn’t feel like taking public transit and never had to wait more than a few minutes. Lots of great food options in the area, particularly Malecon which is just around the corner from the apartment, highly recommended even if you’re not staying in the area. Personally, I’d prefer to stay closer to the action in Manhattan when I go back, but Maritza’s place is very reasonably priced and has everything you’d need for a great stay in NYC.
