This was a great place to stay in NYC. While the building doesn't seem modern, Vitaliy's apartment is super clean and very modern. Vitaliy is a great host. He was super flexible with checking in and checking out, and very fast in communicating or answering any of our questions. The neighborhood is a fun one with a lot of great Mexican food around, a supermarket right across the street, and the subway literally 50 feet away from the front door. Also, only 3 blocks away from Central Park! We'd stay here again for every trip to NYC.
