Martin was an incredible host! From the beginning he was very open to show me more pictures of the apartment or even see it for myself. My mom and brother stayed there for 2 weeks and felt very comfortable. He provided everything they needed and more. The gym and laundry is a plus when spending more than a few days in the city. The apartment feels very cozy and homey. also, having the subway one block from home is perfect. And if you want to stay in the neighborhood, there are tons of great options to eat or have a drink. Overall this is a fantastic option to stay in New York!
