Dear Boris,
in the 8 days we felt very comfortable in your apartment: slept well, enjoyed the huge terrace, cooked, watched the movie - in short felt absolutely home.
Everything worked out great. The Lower East Side is a very good location.
As we spent a total of 15 days in New York with two children in a wheelchair (the other 7 days in Midtown) we also had some time to relax. We would come back anytime, thank you.
