Marty’s place is one of the nicest cleanest places I’ve stayed. Lots of extra touches from extra pillows and various weight blankets to lots of goodies in the kitchen and bath. The heated floors were a welcomed luxury on a freezing day. And the shower is fab! Very modern and clean all around.
Marty was nice enough to accommodate me early and late on both ends as I was staying for a medical procedure the next day. The separate huge patio made it feel like an oasis in the middle of uptown Manhattan.
There was absolutely no street noise (I heard of in manhattan) due to the location of the unit off street and below grade.
The only sounds to prepare for are the ones from upstairs where Marty lives with his family. I wouldn’t even call it noise as his family enjoyed dinner and normal exchanges. You’ll just hear the voices as well as Marty up and down the stairs to his office and the click of doggie toenails. They provided a sound machine in case these sounds bother you (and Marty’s guide advises you to call him if any of it bothers you). For me it did not. If you’re a nyc frequent traveler this is a welcome exchange for street noise like sirens and garbage trucks!
In the morning they were quiet as mice.
Check in and out were quick and easy and I felt safe and at home.
Highly recommend especially if you can visit when you can make use of the patio with sparkling lights and greenery.
