Taya was a fantastic host. I stayed for a month while I looked for apartments and settled in to my new job. The room is amazingly quiet - probably one of the most quiet I have ever stayed in, especially for New York! The apartment is clean, Taya is so nice and friendly, and the pets are a bonus! Taya even surprised me with delicious treats every so often - not at all expected, but always so welcome. I would not hesitate at all to recommend her place to guests!
