I visited NYC with two of my family members from the UK. We had a wonderful time staying at Mark's place.
The apartment was cozy, very clean and comfortable, we had everything we needed. We very much enjoyed sipping some coffee in the lush backyard.
Mark's place is in a great location, only few minutes from the subway, shops and restaurants are just around the corner.
The neighborhood is very friendly and Mark's recommendations for restaurants were perfect.
This is a great place to stay whether one visits Manhattan or Brooklyn.
