We never actually met marylyn, but there were always people around that could help us out if needed.
The room and the shared bathroom were very clean and the bathroom was cleaned daily.
We were also able to leave our luggage in another room after check out so that we don't have to carry it around the city the whole day.
The neighbourhood is okay and it's only a 3 minute walk to the subwa which will take to directly to manhattan.
Overall I can only recommend Marylyn's apartment.
