Svetlana's place was spacious, clean and quiet. I stayed with my 7-year-old son and 80-year-old parents and we all had a wonderful time. The apartment is 2 minutes from the subway and close enough to Central Park for a morning run with my son. The neighbourhood looks a bit gritty (it's true New York) but never felt unsafe. Svetlana's boyfriend, Dmitry, was very helpful, walking us to the local store (one block away) for groceries and helping arrange our travel to and from the airport. I will be bringing my family here on my next NY trip. Highly recommended.
