Olga’s apartment is in a fantastic location in the West Village. Despite easy access to all the area offers it was not noisy and we slept well during our stay. Certainly by NY standards, in this part of the world, the apartment- lounge, bedroom and bathroom were all quite spacious and light. Nice bed linens and towels. Also fabulous air-con: an absolute must in NY in summer.
On the down-side: no written instructions for appliances. We couldn’t get the oven to work (it may be broken or else we just weren’t familiar with the appliance). The kettle was in fact broken & would only work if you stood there and held the button. This resulted in burning my fingers. I reported this but no offer was made to replace it. Wifi for the TV was very unreliable and probably only an issue for us as we wanted to watch theWorld Cup games. Many lights were not working.
We were offered late checkout (3pm ) but we arrived back at the apartment at 2:20 to find the cleaner there. We had left all our valuables in the apartment and intended to return to change for our flight home and do a final clean and pack. It was very difficult with the cleaner already they’re and quite frankly I would never leave Valuables in an apartment if others were allowed access. A really disappointing end to our stay in NY
