The apartment is at my favorite location in NYC, in the relatively quiet and more neighborhoody alphabet city. While the apartment has a window facing the street, noise level was ok for nyc. However, it was not sufficient to prevent the apartment from being quite dark (the dark colors of the walls didn't help either). The artificial lighting in the apartment is also far from sufficient, and not all of it was in working order. The overall feeling of the apartment reminded me of my single escape-room experience: dark and filled with lots of books, weird art, and various artifacts. I had to move stuff around even to find room for my tooth brush, and the various closets are filled to the brim with the owner's clothing and other stuff. This was a positive aspect in the kitchen, where you can find any kitchen item you wish for.
The apartment is in a well kept building, and has a lot of atmosphere, but also a strong smell of incense, and maybe other types of smokey substances... Also, after checking in I texted oksana to ask about some lights that were not working - in response she answered my questions about the lights (some just did not work, nothing to do about it), but also told me that she was going offline and if I have questions I must ask right then and there. Luckily I didn't have any serious problem during my stay, as she did not provide me with any contact to reach in case of need.
