What an exceptional experience for our first AirBnB experience!!! Marty is excellent at communication, friendliness, and meeting his guests' needs! He has renovated a beautiful garden apartment in shades of gray with a lovely tile floor, new bathroom with fabulous steam shower, comfy bed, and beautiful view (including use) of his backyard garden & dining area. What a peaceful oasis in NYC and yet easily accessible to Central Park!
The neighborhood is lovely -- with his townhouse on a street lined with trees, interesting and beautiful townhomes of either brick or stone. And yet if you love Dunkin Donuts, there is one just around the corner. There are many very good restaurants close by -- unfortunately due to scheduling we didn't have a chance to sample them on this trip.
Also when we expressed a special need, Marty very generously extended himself by taking his personal time and walking many blocks to meet our request. This is really far and away what most hosts would do! Thank you, Marty, for a great and memorable stay!
