I stayed with Martin during my time in NYC and I couldn't recommend him enough. Martin is easy to communicate with as he replies almost instantly and happily answered any questions I had. The apartment itself looks exactly like the pictures and has a very warm and homely feel to it. Although the apartment is located in Brooklyn, it's only a quick 15 minute subway ride into manhattan. The subway station is a few blocks away but it is in a very safe area and as a solo traveller I had no worries with this. It's also only a $30 uber ride from time square. I definetely recommend Martin and would love to stay here again.
