Vadim is an excellent host. He met us late at night due to our flight being late to give us a full tour of the Bdlg. He had also arranged to bring over a Blue Ray player so that we could play videos for our son. He left food for our breakfast as well. Very thoughtful. As the listing states, the Subway is about 12 minutes (.6 miles away). Keep this in mind if you need to take it often. The bedroom looks NOTHING like the pictures in the listing. It is furnished with inexpensive Ikea furniture and has no drapes on the windows. Keep this in mind if you need darkness to sleep. There are blinds but they do not do a good job of blocking the light. There is NO dresser, and the bedding is a sheet with a duvet insert (no duvet) and a blanket on top. there are two lumpy pillows. The kitchen has high end appliances, but is lacking in a few items that would make cooking easier. There is one small skillet which can accomodate 2 eggs, and no measuring cups. The wood floors are great and the building seems very secure. The listing mentions Zip car rentals, but this is only useful if you are a member of the Zipcar program, otherwise, this will do you no good. Good restaurants are at least .6 to 1 mile away if not further. There is a very nice rooftop area and a nice gym and lounge area. the neighborhood is very close to a Costco which is handy if you are planning to stay for any length of time. The area is on a major street, so there is noise in the morning hours. There is no regular TV...only internet TV. Overall, we had a great stay and Vadim was a very nice guy and a great communicator. The biggest issue was the bedroom and cooking items.
