Very comfortable and stylish flat. My friends and I (three people between two beds) stayed for two nights over the weekend and had a great time exploring Manhattan and Brooklyn. From the door of the flat to Times Square is about 40 minutes including walking and subway.
We never got to meet Alisa as she was away but communication was very good and check-in and out was very easy. There was a slight smell of cigarette smoke in the building, and occasionally in the flat, but this was never a real issue.
