We had a great stay at Thikshan's place. The apartment is situated very centrally (but still in a quiet neighbourhood), you can easily walk to Union Square and there are good subway and bus connections nearby. With the bus you can get to the Lower East Side within 10 minutes. The beds are comfortable and the place was tidy. Wi-Fi and everything else worked fine. For a NYC apartment it was very quiet, no traffic noise, just sometimes some noise from what we think was a kind of ventilation system from outside (but not preventing us from sleeping). Thikshan and Vasily always replied super quickly to any message and are very kind (even if we did not meet in person).
We would definitely come back!
