This place is wonderful. First of all: easy communication with Martin and his neighbor: Laura: who hands off the key. Second: the keys work so well. This may sound ridiculous, but after using ABB's often in NYC and elsewhere -a non-working key can wreck your trip. Martin's keys work easily and always. Third: This apartment is not in the middle of Manhattan, or Brooklyn or the east Village: and that makes it wonderful! It is in a quiet, beautiful neighborhood, close to the subway, several parks, plenty of amenities. Fourth: the place is spacious and comfortable. Large bedroom, sizable front room with couch and dinning table, full kitchen, great bathroom. It is a bit of paradise in NYC. I visit my daughter in the City once or twice a year. I find having a "refuge" key to my happiness. Martin's place is a perfect refuge. Highly recommended.
