Svetlana was a perfect host, all warm and welcoming. It was great to meet her and to chat with her. The apartment is perfectly located: Very close to vivid Manhattan with all its incredible offers concerning culture and life style, but at the same time the room is as quiet as if it would be located in a rural area. Moreover, everything was super clean and very nicely decorated. All in all, I can only recommend Svetlana as host and if I have the chance to get back to NY she would be my first choice.
