We had a great time staying in the apartment of Olivia. We used it as our home base to visit Manhattan and with the subway (line 3) in only 10 minutes walking distance that worked out fine. Switching from line 3 to line 4 (express) at Utica makes one can travel to Downtown Manhattan in about 30 minutes. The apartment is very nice. It is bright and modern with a well equipped kitchen and a good (long) double bed in a separate bedroom. Communication with Olivia was easy. Although we had not many questions (visited NY before), the questions we had were answered quickly and to the point. After arrival Olivia came by to explain some of the features of the apartment (especially how to operate the shower I would not have figured out myself). We certainly can recommend staying at Olivia's place.
