A great choice! The place was extra clean and had little thoughtful touches such as a Subway Map and bottles of water, an extra blanket and pillow etc.
Mark was quick to respond and great to give advice if needed, especially for arriving to the location from the airport. The check in process was easy and smooth. He even offered a late check-out (due to a late check-in of the next guest) - which was greatly appreciated.
As a solo traveller and first time in New York, I felt safe and a good spend for my money.
Even if the place doesn't have a kitchen there are many restaurants and health food stores around to satisfy any need.
In terms of transport, you can reach Manhattan in 20 minutes and there are quite a few diverse options around.
I highly recommend Mark's place!
