Staying at Martine's place was a really nice experience.
I had my own private room with bath and my own exit to the garden, which will be great in spring and summer! Right next to the room is the kitchen and living room, which is really clean and cozy. I enjoyed to cook there or hang out at the evening. I also had some wonderful dinners together with Martine, her sons and friends, who are all great characters,nice, helpfully and easygoing.
The neighborhood is quiet and qualm due to its an industrial area, there is not much around but at the same time it is nice to relax from busy downtown which is not far away at all. I had a great time there and enjoyed having so much space to live which is unusual for N.Y. apartments! A great Deal i could recommend!
