Svetlana and Marco are great hosts. Svetlana replied to my messages before we arrived really quickly and thoughtfully. We got excellent detailed instructions on getting from JFK to the apartment and such a friendly welcome that we felt at home immediately. Svetlana made suggestions on apps to download for the subway and how to navigate the metro. The room was perfect with a very comfy bed,a TV and aircon. The apartment is beautiful with a lot of artwork and just great style. The location is perfect - 5 minutes to metro or tram then within 15 minutes you can be at time square. Leaving Manhattan for Svetlanas is wonderful as you leave the craziness of the city for greenery and an island with everything you need. Highly recommend the market just beside the apartment too. Svetlana and Marco made our week in NY better than it would have been if we had stayed in a hotel.
