Svetlana is for sure a "superhost"! Communication was incredibly quick and easy. She has a lovely art-filled apartment in a beautiful location for a New York City visit. It's just a lovely 5 minute walk to the subway station to catch the F train into the city. The tram is just another minute away! (Tip: get there early or be the last on for the best view during peak times.) If we didn't want to walk, the (free) island bus stops right in front of her building and the subway station. We enjoyed the farmer's market on Saturday and a leisurely walk along the water around most of the island.
Svetlana keeps her apartment super clean, and the bed is very comfortable. The bedroom is typical of NYC apartments, but roomy enough, and she made sure we had room for hanging clothes in the closet. We were leery about sharing a bathroom, but hers is nicely appointed and very clean, so it turned out to be just fine. Our schedule made for late hours and we slept late into the day. All she asked was to be as quiet as we could when we came in late, and we had no problem sleeping late in the quiet apartment. Bottom line is that we would book with her again with absolutely no hesitation and recommend her wholeheartedly! Thanks, Svetlana, for your warm welcome, helpful tips for our visit, and friendliness during our stay!
