Vadim is a great host, very responsive and flexible in terms of checking in and out. When we arrived there were some basic groceries in the fridge which was a really nice touch as we traveled from Europe and arrived quite late so not having to go out to get food was really appreciated. The apartment is located in a nice newly built development just a short walk from the ferry stop and subway. There are some really nice restaurants in the area which is really helpful if you want to escape the hustle and bustle of Manhattan. I personally couldn't get enough of the great view of NYC skyline which you can soak up directly from the sofa or balcony. In addition, the roof top terrace provides a great view as well! We stayed as a family of three and the apartment was certainly spacious enough to provide a comfortable place to stay in (even got rained in one day which we quite enjoyed actually!).
