A beautiful, quiet gem on the Upper West Side, and in a perfect location if you prefer to be close to the action, but not completely immersed in it. The studio looked exactly as pictured and was very comfortable. You will never want to leave that shower, and you may want to stay in it longer, especially after long days of walking around and exploring.
Marty was the perfect host - kind and helpful with recommendations & suggestions. It took us a long time to get to the studio when we arrived due to a snowstorm earlier in the week and traffic. He also suggested a later departure time, so we didn't have to wait around the airport too long before our flight home.
We'd definitely consider staying at Marty's place again on our next trip to NYC.
