Three friends and I stayed at Marvin's for eight nights over Thanksgiving weekend and found it was the perfect affordable base for a visit to New York City. Marvin is a great host who is friendly but unobtrusive. He can be contacted easily and responds promptly to messages - he went out of his way to make us feel welcome including taking us to get pizza on our way from the airport. A bottle of wine and a stocked fridge was waiting for us.
Nothing is too much trouble for Marvin - including getting us a replacement key when we lost ours!
The three bedroom apartment is clean, modern and secure with a fully functioning kitchen. The wifi is excellent.
The C and J trains are 2 blocks away and within easy walking distance.
I'd happily stay there again when visiting NYC. Thanks Marvin!
