Marianna was a great host! As a person, she's incredibly sociable and well-traveled. Sit and have a conversation with her if you ever bump into her during your stay. Her neighborhood is very quiet at night, and is situated just a short walk away from all the food places you'd want to go to. It's also very close to the subway, so all of NYC is accessible to you. The parking was definitely a plus because we traveled by car and needed parking. The apartment and the room are very clean and well-kept together. This is definitely a great place to stay when you’re in NYC!
