Communication with Mark was perfect from start to finish. Even on a weekday evening, we were able to find parking on the same street as our airbnb and the neighborhood is very safe and beautiful. We were a short walk away from the subway station which was very useful. The apt. is on the smaller size but it's just perfect...lots of light, quiet evenings, dimming lights, super comfortable bed and all the light touches that just bump up your experience...from shampoo, conditioner, lotion, band aids, umbrellas for walking in the rain. We just really enjoyed staying at Mark's apt. during our stay in NY.
