Maria's place is in an absolutely lovely location and there is always something to do nearby any time of day. I would say it is perfect for a resting spot and getaway from a hectic New York trip.
Maria herself was a wonderful host, giving clear instructions when checking in/out and readily available to answer any questions I had (she also left me delicious cookies!).
I would definitely stay here again to snag a comedy show at the cellar or chess game at the park.
