Mary Sue was a lovely host - friendly and helpful but also left us to do our own thing when we wanted. She was there to meet us when we arrived and was in touch beforehand. We felt very at home in her lovely apartment; the bedroom was comfortable and the shower clean and powerful. The only slight downside was that it was quite noisy, even at night, but I imagine there are very few places in NYC where that is not the case. The location was fantastic - it was only a short walk to the subway and we loved being so close to Central Park. Overall, a great stay and we would definitely recommend it.
