Our family of three had a wonderful stay at Marta's apartment during our vacation in the city. It is true that Marta's apartment looks even better in person than in the pictures. I found the apartment to be well-appointed, spacious and well-equipped with everything that one may need for a visit to NYC. The location in the upper west side is so convenient as it makes the majority of the tourist attractions easily accessible within a short metro ride away. The metro is literally around the corner with access to the 1,2,3 lines that can connect you to the rest of the subway network quickly. The neighborhood is relatively quiet and very safe (for a major city mind you) and we found some excellent restaurants and bakeries within short walking distance. Marta herself was a terrific hostess. She was so kind to meet up late in the evening (our flight was delayed) to hand over the keys and showed us around the apartment. In summary, Marta's apartment is a great stop for your next trip to NYC. We love the city and would not hesitate to come back to her place if she lets us:)
