Israel's huge apartment is very modern and nicely equipped and furnished. Some of the features are very luxurious (including the guest bathroom). The guest bed is very comfortable; there is a separate air conditioning unit in the bedroom. The guest desk is very small, but guests may use a large table in the living room instead. There are about 6 steps from the main building entrance to the elevator lobby, but there are foldable metal ramps to assist. The wi-fi acted up approximately 25% of the time but usually reconnected withing a minute. There are several supermarkets and a fruit/vegetable store within 3 blocks. The #1 bus takes longer than the subway but is more convenient and air conditioned. (The subway frequently requires long walks in non-air conditioned passageways.) Israel allowed me to do a load of laundry and hang-dry my clothes on his private patio, which has furniture (but no wi-fi there). Israel works and studies at home, so bring headphones if you watch videos or listen to music. Thanks, Israel!!!
