The house is located in a very convenient position, close to Chinatown, Financial District, Union Square etc. We didn't meet Irina but her housemate Greg was very nice and available for anything we needed. However, the house is quite old and not well mantained, we found the bedroom quite dirty and smelly. Also, one of the provided towel was stained. It's a convenient and cheap stay for a couple of days but not for longer periods.
