Maria was an awesome host. I felt very at home from the moment I got there. She gave me clear instructions, welcomed me upon my arrival, and gave me a tour of the property. This was also the perfect location. I could walk to most of my venues or could take the bus, which comes just outside of the apartment. There's a couple of comedy clubs near the location and some really nice restaurants. My new all time favorite restaurant is just a few block away - The BlueBell Cafe. It was the best food I have ever had in New York. The salmon was to die for. The dish came with kale and mashed potatoes. I had to leave a day early because my daughter contracted pneumonia, and she refunded my last night. I so appreciated that, as I didn't have any control of the situation. I would definitely stay again and would welcome the chance.
