Elke and Andrei’s apartment was everything I could hope for. Clean, silent, well located, with a private bathroom, a full equipped kitchen and air conditioner in the room. It is close to several shops, to a line 1 subway station and to the Riverside Park, which has a nice walking track by the Hudson River. Elke and Andrei are both very nice and very helpful. I stayed there for a total of 100 nights while studying in NYC, and I highly recommend it!
