We stayed here for 4 nights and had a great time. The apartment is really big, clean and beautiful and Katja took good care of us when we arrived. The neighborhood didn’t seem really good. A police car once stopped us asking if we were lost. However we didn’t have any problems and took the subway home every night without any bad experiences. You get really good value for the money at this place compared to New York standards. If you’re only looking for a place to sleep then it’s probably better to find a smaller place closer to the city. But if you want some more space and a place to cook some food then this is perfect.
