A hidden gem in Bronx. Martine is detailed and welcoming so is his son.
The place is clean, private, cozy and artsy. I fell in love with all Martine's photography works and all her collections. Having the whole flat is another plus. You get to separate work and sleep to have a quality stay.
The neighborhood is quiet and can be a bit noisy when nearby constructions begin. But you will probably be visiting the city in the day time. It's surrounded by warehouse and few industrial building and overall a safe area.
Subway 6 and BX33 is how you getting in and out the city for most of the time. Uber and lyft offer you a convenient way with a bit more price. It can cost you $40 to get to lower Manhattan.
I do want to come back and I have recommended to several friends.
