Mark was a gracious and attentive host. We didn't get to meet but I was able to check in with no problems. He answered all my questions and gave me all the information that I needed to get around the city. Mark's place is within walking distance to grocery stores, restaurants and subway lines. Close to all the attractions in Times Square. Mark's gave my sister and I in-depth directions that helped us get to the airport in time to catch our flight. Mark is definitely a super host and I would definitely recommend staying with him if you planing on a trip to NY.
