Marlon is a great host! Checkin was easy, evsn tho I arrived very late (close to midnight). Immediately when I came in I saw Christinas cell# (she's living in the appartement as well, amazing roommate and very fun!), which made it easy to get started with good grocerystores, bars and restaurants nearby.
During my stay of 3 months Marlon was always very quick to respond to any questions I had. Even my brother spontaneously staying over for about a week was no problem.
The appartement is great and just as shown in the pictures. Very clean, fully functionable kitchen and washer/dryer combo that could have a load of cloths done in 3.5 hrs.
If youre into bars you should check out the Wilky just 2 blocks down Monroe Street, easily one of my favorites in NYC. Great craftbeer selection.
The room was very well heated, even during the cold winter we had this year. Would definetly stay here again!
