Irina's place is sparkly clean, with a big (shared) bathroom. The window view is onto trees which is really nice to wake up to. Her place is in a typical Brooklyn neighbourhood, very quiet, and only 2 minutes walk from the subway which was very easy and practical. I visited NY for one week and did everything with the subway. It was a wonderful home base for my trip. Whenever I will come back to NY I hope I can stay with Irina.
