Marc's place is absolutely wonderful. It is an entire floor of a beautiful brown-house with Marc himself living on the ground floor and a family living on the top floor. The apartment is very comfortable, very clean, and nicely decorated. There is a comfy sitting room with TV and couch, a dining room, a bedroom with a large comfy bed, and a fully equipped kitchen. This part of Brooklyn really nice, quiet and safe. The street is very quiet with hardly any traffic. Just a few minutes walking away there are several streets full of very authentic and off-the-beaten-track restaurants, coffee shops, bars, shops, etc. There are several subway stations within 5 or 10 minutes walking, each with direct fast (~ 20 min) service into any part of Manhattan (2, 3, Q, L lines). Marc, the host, met us in person when we checked in and was very helpful and friendly. We will definitely stay here again when we return to New York.
