The place was a great value for New York. It had a spectacular view and a huge TV! The kitchen has pots, pans, and dishes. There is a washer and dryer in the unit but I did not use it. There is a coffeemaker and a hot water kettle. The toilet has a bidet which is a great plus! The apartment has a heating unit in the living room and bedroom that you can control on your own which is not common for New York. There are a few stores within a 5 minute walking distance. Tons of Russian restaurants and cafes.
