Vika was very helpful in arranging our stay. Her place is conveniently located on the UES and very close to the newly opened 96th Street Q line subway stop. The apartment is a good size for NYC and has a washer/dryer, which is great for longer stays. If you like cats, this is a good place to stay, as you can assist Vika with taking care of her cat, Zushka. Zushka isn't the friendliest of cats, but you can interact with her a bit if you take it slow. For some reason, she seemed to interact with me better than she did with my wife. We're both cat people, so we enjoyed taking care of her. Apartment has a nice - and very rare - backyard space, which was great on a sunny day.
