Sorry for being so NY-centric. Now that you mention it, I suppose pied-a-terre carries a highly specific meaning to Manhattanites — “a studio or 1 br owned by out-of-towners so they can occasionally fly in, enjoy the theater/museums/restaurants, sleep on a bed without other peoples’ fluids all over it, and fully enjoy the mortgage interest deduction”. Another way of saying “crash pad that you DONT rent out when you’re not there”.

Anyway — any info on the Martinique complex would be much appreciated.
