We stayed in Natasha's place for a week and we found it very convenient. It's a 5-7 min walk from 110th street train station which could be your starting point to wherever you wanna go in the city.
New York is such a vibrant city so we were out and about everyday til midnight and natasha didn't mind even if we we're still awake til 4am-how considerate. She responds promptly to our queries via sms. Aside from her hospitality, the apartment itself was very clean, especially the toilet (which i know most of us are worried about), and it has this shabby chic interior that would impress you and make you feel at home instantly. Even though Natasha wasn't there when we arrived, we were welcomed by her red roses at the table where we can see just as we opened the door and the incandescent lamps that was already turned on. In a nutshell, our whole stay was hassle-free, convenient, comfortable, and best of all safe. Would definitely book in again if we go back to the big apple!
