I stayed at Martin's for just under a week and it was an absolute pleasure! I loved how the room and the apartment was decorated, it felt like how I imagined a Brooklyn apartment to be, eclectic and artsy with nice accents. It's an older apartment, with radiators and a vintage feel and I also liked that. I didn't want to stay in a sterile hotel like space so this was what I was looking for. Martin stayed to himself for most of the time I was there but I expected that as it said he was like that in the room description, but on the weekend he had friends over for dinner and they were all very nice to me. He also had a BBQ for gay pride weekend and the apartment was very busy but they invited me to have a hot dog on the roof and it was a pleasure to meet his group and have a NYC experience I never would have had otherwise. The roof is amazing and the most stunning view of Manhattan at sunset! I also appreciated that the next day Martin had the apartment back to normal. Overall, I had an amazing time at Martin's apartment, the neighborhood was great, there are five train lines within 5 minutes walk, he gave fantastic recommendations for places to go in the most detailed neighborhood guide I've seen (btw definitely check out his top restaurant pick Traif, it was heavenly!), the apartment was spotless (the building hallways are more messy but that's the buildings responsibility not his), the AC in the room was a godsend and whenever I asked for anything (I wanted to make coffee and his french press was broken, he had a new one waiting the next morning) he was accommodating. I couldn't have had a better experience! Thank you, Martin!
