I stayed at Natasha's place for 5 days and I liked it! The apartment was great as a home base while exploring NY, especially one for which I did not spend too much on accommodation (overall, a great value for the price). The place was very close to the subway/metro station and the neighborhood is lively and safe (there are always "eyes on the street"), even late in the day.The room was clean and comfortable.The bed is comfy, the wifi worked perfectly and the shower was good (although a bit busy in the mornings). Moreover, Natasha is great: she is kind, informative and very well organized. If you are in NY on a budget, I strongly recommend staying at Natasha's place!
