I would book with MaVi again. I booked late at night and woke up to a message from her the next morning thanking me for the booking, and to let her know if I had any questions. The place was way better than a hotel and a better price. It is perfect for an individual, couple, or two people who don’t mind sharing a bed. Functional kitchen. Proximity to mid-town, the Hudson River, and the subway was great! You can see the Hudson from outside the apartment building. There is a bakery and a coffee shop right across the street, both were great! The bagel, from H&H bagel, at the coffee shop was awesome. There is a bodega on the corner that had delicious sandwiches and the usual deli options. There are various other options a block away. Area is safe. Check-in and check-out were super smooth.
The only thing I would keep in mind, and this has nothing to do with MaVi, is that it is across from an auto repair shop that is open 24/7, and a place where the food trucks are stored at night, so they are being dropped off late at night. In short, it is even noisy for NYC. Nothing a pair of ear plugs can’t handle.
Lastly, I didn’t leave until 5:30 pm and MaVi allowed me to leave my bags at the apartment until 5 even though checkout was at 11 am or noon. I recommend booking with MaVi.
