I used Martin's townhouse for a media event in April. The house is spectacular and looks the same, if not better, than it does in photos. Martin was very accommodating and let us do multiple walk-throughs prior to the event. He worked seamlessly with our caterer to ensure that we pulled our event off exactly how we wanted it. The East Village location is great and has a more neighborhood-y vibe. I would recommend staying at Martin's place if you are coming to NYC or planning a dinner party.
