This was my first time travelling to NYC as well as using AirBNB. Mark was AMAZING! We flew in early Friday, he let us come and check in early, even let us nap since we all worked the night before. He was the perfect host! Made sure we had everything we needed. The beds were amazing (some of the best sleep I had in WEEKS!) The location was fantastic. About a 3 city block walk to the subway, which being from Chicago is nothing! 30 minute ride into Times Square via the subway. Great corner stores, organic and not. Open late too with some of the best sandwiches I've had in a long time. It was my first trip to NY, and although it was cut short by a day due to hurricane Sandy, it was everything I needed it to be! I would go back to NY in a heartbeat and I would ABSOLUTELY stay at Mark's place again! He was FAN-TAS-TIC!
