Julia’s apartment is lovely, clean and welcoming. We felt safe and comfortable when in the apartment. There was little noise from the house above us but it didn’t cause an issue. We had everything we needed and plenty of space for 2 guests. The metro is close by and so are bus services so it is easy to get around the city, if you don’t mind a 25 minute metro to Times Square. There are plenty of places to eat nearby. However, past 9pm we felt it was safer to get a taxi instead of walking the streets. Julia also responds quickly which helped us with any questions we had. I would recommend staying here. Thanks Julia!
