We stayed for a month exactly, and it felt like home immediately. It is a second floor walk up, with a big walk in closet in the hallway. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you could need. We have a one year old and it was perfect for her, once you blocked off the wires from the TV and covered the radiator. Laundry was in the basement, and we needed our own laundry card. There wasn't one on the premises, and once Inna was contacted, she sent a messenger and within 30 minutes I was doing laundry. STELLA communication! You are responsible for your own garbage which is placed outside. The bed in unbelievably comfortable. The heat in the apartment worked well during the super cold nights. There nearest supermarket is 2 blocks away with loads of Corner stores and restaurants nearby. My only complaint is I wish were able to stay for another month, but someone beat us and booked it first!. We will miss being so close to the subways and buses. it took only 10 minutes to get to work at time square. A very charming place to stay.
