Martin's place was exactly what we needed. It's the perfect place to set your bags down and rest, which is exactly what we came to NY for. The living area and roof are definitely cozy, but we took more advantage of the roof. The view is really great. Just a heads up to anyone that's not fire escape savvy, it is kind of scary. Another thing to be aware of with this place is that it gets warm very easily with the space heaters. We actually had to turn ours off at night because it was so hot. It did seem that the building itself was fairly WARM!!!! I only mention this because I get hot easily and figure there are others out there just like me that may want to know this. All in all though it really was everything we needed for the weekend.
