I stayed at Mark's apartment some days ago and it was a great experience. Mark is kind and very hepful. The room looks exactly as in the pictures, confy bed, big space, huge couch to rest. Mark lets you use the kitchen and living room and he makes sure you feel at home. The whole apartment is a very nice place and his dogs are super friendly. Transportation is very easy, you walk about three blocks and get to the closest subway station to take the train that will take you to the heart of Manhattan in less than 20 minutes. When I go back to NY, I would be happy to stay at Mark's place again, no doubts.
