Mark is a fantastic host. He provided me with all the information I needed before visiting: handy tips for getting around, places to visit, things to do, directions and advice on transport. Saying that I felt welcome would be a significant understatement! That said, Mark was also very considerate of our time and space - basically striking the perfect balance. The apartment is warm, comfortable, well appointed, and well situated. Five minute walk to the subway to Manhattan, several local food choices, and good local services. It's also worth knowing that by staying here, you'll be contributing to a sustainsble development project. It's all good!
