We stayed here for 5 nights and was very pleased with the apartment. Vadim was an excellent host and was very quick to respond to any questions. The apartment was a lot bigger than the photos suggests and the bed was the biggest and most comfortable I've ever slept. The view was amazing from the balcony and the area felt very safe when walking around. Easy access to Manhattan with the subway about 10 minutes walk or the scenic ferry is about 5 minutes walk. I would highly recommend Vadims place if you're looking to visit Manhattan but want to stay away from the hustle of the city
