Gila's place was in a really great location - great restaurants and bars nearby and close to the subway. The apartment is also larger than it appears in the photos and for NY standards is very comfortable.

It did feel like we were housesitting slightly given the lengthy instructions on watering plants and feeding the fish. We were also asked to strip the bedsheets and place towels and walk it down to the laundry people a block away. We could not do this due to our travel arrangements and Gila was okay with that but I do think given there is a cleaning fee that guests should not be required to do these things.

Having said that, overall a great place in a good location and would recommend if you don't mind doing a few house sitting duties.
