Marc was the perfect host--quick to respond and help out with any issues. I'm only sorry we didn't get a chance to sit down and talk! The apartment is really amazing: very spacious (ridiculously so for NYC), looks as beautiful as it does in the pictures, and in the absolute best location. Went to the Fat Radish down the street for excellent drinks and dessert, and it's walking distance from the east village, and a short subway ride away to the best parts of the city. I really don't think there's a better place to stay in NYC.
