Kristina's apartment was just perfect for our family of 4 (very tall people). It was as described and everything you could want is on your doorstep.
Kristina herself was a fabulous host and made us feel at home and ensured we had everything we needed including the air-conditioning - it was very warm in New York last week! She was kind enough to let us check in early and out late for our evening flight of JFK.
The only noise you can hear from the street is when the windows are open and that noise is mainly from garbage trucks or the odd bus. We were not bothered at all by the bar.
The location to transport is also perfect with 2 subway stations and the East River Ferry within a few minutes walk.
Stay here, you will not regret it!!!
