Mariana's place was perfect for our stay in New York. It was clean and Mariana was a great host. She was always responsive and very thoughtful about making sure we had everything we need. The location is amazing, with the subway nearby and tons of restaurants and bars around. We didn't mind the club downstairs. We even went there to party, until they shut down. :) Very convenient to be just upstairs at the end of the night. The only thing to keep in mind is that, when we were there (late March to early April), there was some construction going on in the building and the street (on weekdays). I didn't mind it at all, but if you like to sleep in during a weekday you might want to take that into consideration. I would definitely stay here again next time I make a trip to NY.
