Katya reached out to me in advance, so I had no problems to get into the apartment when I was arriving even though she wasn't there. The apartment is nice, clean and the room is very spacious. The Caribbean neighbourhood has a special flair, which I liked a lot. The next metro station is just down the street, so you can be in Manhattan in 15 minutes. There are a lot of restaurants, cafés as well as a supermarket in 5 minutes walking distance. The only downside of the room is, that it is quite noisy at night/ in the morning because it is very close to the street.
Katya was taking of everything very well and I felt welcome at anytime. If you're looking for a 'real New York' experience for your stay, I highly recommend staying with Katya!
