Vigil's apartment is perfect for its price. I stayed at her place for a week around New Year's Eve, as a young tourist traveling alone. The apartment is in Harlem, at equal distance (5-10 min walking) between two subway stops, where several lines are available. The closest bus stop is almost in front of the building. I would say that the neighborhood is very well connected with the rest of the city. The apartment is on the second floor and is quiet, although the street can be noisy from time to time (never enough to wake me up at night). The bathroom is shared, which was never a problem, and the kitchen as well. I used it mainly to consume take-away food, but Vigil had prepared an empty cupboard for me and had made all her cutlery and dishware available. The heating in the whole apartment was perfect.
On top of that, Vigil is a very nice and interesting person. She enjoys chatting with her guests but is also fine if you need your privacy after a long day. In the period I was there, she was often home: I got great advice from her on the city of New York, that she knows very well. I hope she manages to accomplish her goals so that people can soon take advantage of her inspiring ideas and art :)
