Sofiya makes every effort to keep her apartment clean. However, there were cockroaches in the kitchen. The building is very old and someone with asthma would not want to stay there. The kitchen and the bathroom do not have air conditioning. When cooking inside the kitchen during the summer, it is extremely hot and uncomfortable. There is an air conditioning inside the room which keeps the room very cool but it is loud. So for those who are light sleepers, it would not be an ideal place. Also, if you have a car, expect to spend time to find a parking spot in the streets. I was caught off guard of the unexpected water shut down in the middle of the night. It was a shut down of water for the whole building. I asked Sofiya about it and she said she was not informed about the water shut down. However, the place is very close to the train station and convenient to go to Times Square. Staying here was my first and last.
