Aleks was very responsive and check in video was very clear. If you aren't used to staying in a city the exterior of the building may surprise you because it is covered in graffiti, but that is very typical for the area. However, the interior is extremely clean. The actual apartment is exactly as shown in photos. Beds were comfortable, kitchen well stocked with dishes/cookware, etc. Ideal location - close to subway, grocery stores, restaurants. Perfect accommodations for a long holiday weekend.
