Pavel is an excellent host. The neighborhood is great; vibrant and full of energy during the day and quiet at night. It's a few blocks away from the subway and just a few stops from Central Park. The apartment is clean and comfortable; Netlfix is great for the nights you're too exhausted from sightseeing to go out.

Note: I locked my phone inside the apartment upon leaving and freaked out, because I had a train to catch. I reached Pavel on my laptop and he was there within twenty minutes. Great guy.
