An oasis. There’s no other way to describe Maribel’s wonderful home. My family and I traveled to New York, not for a vacation but so that I could have a pair of preventative surgical procedures related to a 10-year-old cancer diagnosis. I recovered completely, and while staying at Maribel’s I felt so comfortable and at ease that it almost felt like I was staying with family. The apartment itself is clean, well-stocked (with linens, bathroom tissue, paper towels, etc.) and, to my surprise given its location, remarkably quiet. Deliveries were handled seamlessly whether from local shops, grocery stores, or restaurants (we did not venture out much because of the pandemic and my recovery). The washer and dryer were in need of repair when we visited but Maribel arranged for a regular pick-up laundry service — we just left the clothes outside the front door in the morning and the were returned that afternoon washed, dried and folded. Because of New York’s notorious traffic enforcement, we were concerned about street parking but we lucked into a space shortly after we arrived and had no issues during our stay. I struggle to think of areas of improvement — we felt welcomed in the neighborhood, safety was never a concern, and as our stay drew to a close my family and I were already planning a possible return under better, non-medical circumstances. Highly recommend this jewel.
