This apartment was perfect for my family of 4 (2 daughters 15 and 13). Our 15 year-old daughter slept in the living room on the sofa bed. She thought the sleeping arrangements were comfortable and had no complaints. The rest of us slept great in the 2 beds. Mark was very responsive before, during, and after our stay. I honestly don't know how he could have been a better host. When we first arrived and tried to connect to the wifi, our connection was successful but there was no access to the internet. I sent Mark a message and let him know that it wasn't urgent, as we were going exploring and wouldn't need internet access until much later. He sent me connection details for another router and then diagnosed the issue within minutes (the cleaning service turned off the power strip by mistake). When he found we left behind some art supplies by accident, he offered to ship them back to us. So kind! We loved that there was a Brita pitcher in the refrigerator, so we could load our water bottles with cold filtered water before setting out for each day's adventure.
The location of the apartment was fantastic. We walked most things we wanted to see. If it was too far to walk, we negotiated the nearby subway station with connections to pretty much anywhere we wanted to go.
We didn't want to deal with having a car in the city, so we parked at 2 Journal Square in Jersey City and took the nearby Path train to the 23rd st stop. From there, it was a 7 minute (.4 mile) walk to the apartment.
I can't say enough great things about Mark or his apartment. We were so thankful we booked this place for our family's NYC trip.
