Martine and her son Adrien are very friendly, warm and sensitive artistic people and Martine is a very considerate and accommodating host, asking me all the time if I had everything I needed and giving great recommendations of places to visit. I very much enjoyed our talks.

The house looks exactly like the photos and the descriptions are very accurate. It is nice and cozy, very clean and organized and has a lot of charm with antique pieces of furniture and many artworks on the walls. You also can use the kitchen next to the room, which has all usual appliances and all cookware and tableware you can imagine. Martine also made a half of the big refrigerator available for me to use. The house is conveniently located just a few minutes' walk from the Cypress Ave subway station from which you can go to Manhattan quite fast (it takes around 30 to 40 minutes to the Grand Central Terminal). Port Morris, the neighborhood in which the house is situated, is mainly industrial and deserted at night, which might be a bit intimidating for some people, I however didn't have a single problem during the two weeks I spent there, even when walking there after dark.

The room is quiet, has a lot of light and has direct access to the garden behind the house. It also has an own private bathroom, which is great.

All in all, I can only recommend this listing, especially for the price. It was an overall very pleasant experience to stay with Martine and she made it feel like home. My only regret is that I didn't stay longer than two weeks but I'll definitely be going back.
