Very nice small apartment with good proportions. The living room/kitchen area was comfortable and user friendly. We made coffee every morning with the coffee maker and filters she left (we brought our own coffee) before heading out for the day.

Wi Fi worked great as we wanted to check early in the day and late when we got back. TV was good too as it was World Cup although we didn't watch much.

We were out most of the the day and returned on several very hot New York day. Ivana's AC worked well and when we turned it on in the evening when we got back, things cooled off quickly.

Our only issue was the bedroom, which was far from the AC. The bed was just too soft for the two of us, who, I will say, are not great sleepers. One person went off to the living room and slept on the couch, leaving the other to have the whole bed, which worked better. The only reason this became a problem for us was that with the AC on all night, it was a bit too cool for the person on the couch, but great for the person in th bedroom, which was far from the AC. and got too hot. If we turned the AC off and just ran the fan, it was great for the couch, but less good for the person in the bedroom. Most people are great sleepers, so none of this would be worth worrying about, but as 65-year olds, it was a small consideration,which I bring up for the bad sleepers among us.And to repeat, it was a very hot spell in New York.

Apartment was very clean and tidy - nothing of concern there. Lots of cleaning material if needed as well. Full fridge if you wanted to stock up - with things she left behind as a convenience.

Location is great - we wanted to be in the upper East side, but if you don't know, it's pretty good. Food nearby , subways a short walk away to get you anywhere even if you need to transfer; cabs running on 1st Ave all the time.

Very quiet location, too.

Ivana we did not meet as she was traveling, but she was 100% responsive about anything we emailed her about. We arranged a way to get keys that was convenient.
