Mark and Will's place is an amazing option if you plan to visit the city. Although is not right around the corner for most touristy things, is really accessible by different subway lines, buses and even faster on cab. I liked staying here cause it allowed me to see different areas of the city, not just the hotspots. The whole appt is really big, the bed was amazingly comfortable, just what we needed after a busy day walking around the city. Is a noisy neighborhood and could resent it if you come from a suburb area, but we did not mind at all since is what we expect from a big city like NY.
Host was tremendously responsive and kind, did not got the pleasure to meet him or the dogs, but always felt confident I could reach out for anything.
