Marvin was an excellent host! From the moment we entered the city he made us feel as if we were family. He was always available and considerate of our needs. The apartment was very comfortable and contained more than enough space for my family (wife+3 kids). Public transportation is a short walk up the street which was our primary means of getting around during our stay. We walked back and forth many times during the day and night and never felt as if we were in danger. Bottom line is this apartment is an excellent deal for any trip to NYC!
