I want to thank Irena and Kristina for hosting my friend and I during our stay in New York city during the February long weekend. We love the location of Irena's place - safe neighborhood in the UES, near to the metro (which was 5 mins walk that allows you to acess the subways pretty much everywhere). Communication with Irena and Kristina was easy and straight forward. Although we didn't meet Irena, we met her sister Kristina who was so lovely. We are thanful that they are able to accommodate us check-in early and gave us a clear instructions on how to check-in, making the check-in process smooth and easy. With us girls, we love the fact that it had it's own private washroom (was very handy during our stay and definitely adds value to our stay). If you want a quiet, safe, clean, a place near the metro with great restaurants around, we definitely recommend staying with them.
