Marty is possibly the most welcoming person on the Upper West Side. We arranged to stay on very short notice, and he could not have been more accommodating. They have renovated the ground floor of their UWS brownstone, and it is sparkling. The french doors in the bedroom open onto a very private terrace. The kitchen is small but clean and functional, and the shower must have made the Kohler salesperson very happy--side jets, steam, the works! The location is very good, close to the B,C and 1 trains, plenty of good restaurants, Central Park, and Whole Foods. The house is on a quiet street, and the bedroom is in back, and very quiet. Absolutely no complaints.
