yana is a very nice host. we stayed with her for a week and i would recommend the place. it looks just like the pictures and we never had any issues with sharing the bathroom. only two things i would warn about: you have to let the door of the room open to let cold air of the air conditioning come in, and you can hear everything from the streets - also during the night (like everywhere in manhattan though). despite of this we had a great time at yanas!! she even let us drip off our bags early and stay a few hours longer on our last day! george the cat is very sweet too
