We found Agnes' neighborhood to be very safe. The apartment faces a park and although it's a lively neighborhood, it's fairly quiet on her street. Agnes provided detailed information prior to our visit: directions from the airport, how to get around on the metro, info about the neighborhood and other very helpful information. The apartment is right around the corner from the subway and only 2 stops from Times Square on the express train. The bed and tv in our room are newer than the ones depicted in the photo. There is a modern desk, shelving and a large closet in the room. The bed is very comfortable and the blow-up mattress has several firmness settings - we didn't discover this until later but comfort was never an issue. Agnes provided a variety of extras: bottled water and other drinks, crackers, mints, lotion, shower supplies, etc. She was always available via text/email when we were away and had questions. The kitchen is well-stocked and Agnes offered fruit, juice, cereal, eggs, bread, coffee/tea for our consumption. We had a great stay here and definitely recommend it.
