Svjetlana has been an awesome host, providing a very clean, tidy and welcoming place as well as a lot of kindness, respect and hospitality.
I have stayed with her and her son for almost four months and I have not felt uncomfortable or unwelcome once.
The location of her place is in a very nice and safe area, which allows you to get a glimpse of how New Yorkers really live.
When I will be back around, I definetily know, where to stay ;)
