The apartment was well located on the upper west side near the subway. Sasha was very friendly and hospitable, and he came and met us at the subway stop and offered us suggestions on where to go. The room was fine but not great and the bed was uncomfortable and squeaky because it had some sort of plastic covering. The house smelled like the dog. Though the part of the experience that turned us off the most was that we were quietly talking in our room at night and we were shushed and told to be quiet because her mother was sleeping. We were told that there was no curfew and then from that point on we didn't feel comfortable in the house.
