This was our first experience using Airbnb or similar. Martin and Hande were great, from contacting us days before to the day of our arrival and making themselves available throughout the stay (without invading our time or space). The apartment was better than we imagined; even my bro-in-law who resides in NY agreed. All amenities were as described but the coolest bonus was the drink refreshments available in the fridge upon arrival and something so simple as spices for use and coffee for the coffee maker. All appreciated. Although the weather did not allow us to use it, another great feature was the private social area out back complete with grill & seating. The overall area (location) of the apartment was really nice and super close to the train line without the excessive train noise. We felt safe walking the neighborhood at night to the station and even the local bodegas and eateries.
We appreciate how quickly Martin and Hande responded to requests/needs and made accommodations for us. This was truly a great first experience. We plan to visit NY again and have already made it known that Martin & Hande's place will be our first choice. Thanks again for your kind hospitality.
