Mark and Ellie's place is a renovated storefront in the heart of East Village. The place was very nice and we'll kept. They provided snacks and coffee. Arrangements and getting into the unit was very easy and Ellie was very flexible.
My group's issue with this rental was that:
1. The walls were extremely thin. They could hear us speaking with only 2 people in the unit. We could also hear them if we were in the back room.
2. Mark was not easy to work with once we had to change our plans, due to our dissatisfaction with the lack of privacy in the unit. We attempted to change our stay to just one night so that we could get a different place to stay, due to the unforeseen circumstances.
3. Mark was not willing to give us a refund for the night we could not stay. He only refunded $50 out of the 417$ we paid for the 3-night stay.
4. Mark became unresponsive and it made the exit difficult as we tried to plan on what to do with our lodging situation for the weekend.
5. Not ideal for large groups.
