Mark is an excellent host. He stays in touch with you so that everything runs smoothly. His apartment was perfect for my husband and me. Because of the layout, there is private space upstairs - chair or bed - if one of the travelers is ready for some rest, while the other person has the full use of the downstairs living area, kitchen and half bath. Although we called out for some delicious Thai nearby, one could easily cook a meal in the kitchen. The kitchen is small, but has top of the line appliances (subzero fridge and Viking stove.) There is also a small microwave and a toaster to complete your cooking needs.
The Upper East Side is my favorite part of NYC - the Museums, the restaurants, the Park are all within walking distance. So nice to stay away from midtown, or worse - Times Square area! Thanks Mark!
