My family and I stayed at Mark’s place for a short visit with the purpose of visiting NYC. The apartment itself was very quiet and comfortable. The beds were great!!! The location was very convenient for travels to NYC. It was a short walk to the ferry. The ferry was a beautiful, quick, and free way to get to the city. The neighborhood itself felt a little sketchy at times, but overall it was perfect for our visit bc we spent little time in the neighborhood. We recommend driving to the ferry as to avoid walking late at night on your return to the house. It only costs 8 dollars to park all day and it is free on Sundays. I advise getting there early on week days bc the parking lot is small and fills up quickly. Mark’s place was a quiet escape from the busy city we had been in all day. Overall, our trip was great and would recommend Mark’s place if you are looking for a quick and cheap way to visit New York.
