I stayed for a week with two other people at Izumi's apartment, and everything went great. The photos from the place are very accurate. The apartment is not big, but it was more than big enough for us, considering we did not spend too much time there. Everything was in perfect working condition, and clean. The location is excellent, with lots of restaurants and other stuff along 86th street and the avenues. The neighborhood is quiet and clean (by NYC standards). The subway is a 10-12 minutes walk away. Izumi was very helpful before my arrival. After I arrived I didn't even need anything, but communication was easy. Certainly would stay there again.
