We had a great 9 days at Irena's room. Everything was really clean, tidy and comfortable. We had our private bathroom which is a big plus. Position was great. Upper east side is really nice. Subway station was 3-4 blocks away. It's within 5-10 minutes of walk. There are also plenty of bus stations in the neighborhood. They are even closer than subway. Irena was absent at the time of our arrival. She made us clear that her sister Kristina will be there to welcome us. Kristina was indeed a great and kind host. Gave us some useful information about restaurants, cafe bars and grocery stores. I would definitely recommend her room.
