Iulia provided a safe and welcoming spot for me. She supplies everything you would need, all in the comfort of your own space. The view from the bedroom is absolutely outstanding, you can see almost the entire Manhattan skyline. It’s a breathtaking view from the roof also, night or day.
The subway is a 5-10 minute walk with various restaurants and shops there, as well as ones being right outside the apartment building. Just a note that the subway stop isn’t wheelchair accessible or very friendly to those with heavy luggage.
I came down with a cold at the end of my trip and Iulia game me tea, biscuits, and medicine and allowed me to stick around longer after check in time to rest up. Each day I came back to the apartment she had left a snack for me in the room and cleaned up a little, these types of gestures aren’t expected but the fact that she does them is what makes her such a fantastic superhost.
If you are looking for a spot close to the subway/city where you get privacy and warmth this is the place for you.
