Loved Lena's apartment! The location is perfect..safe & very close to Times Square & Hudson River...multiple bars/restaurants nearby. I'm a big foodie so I love being near food joints within walking distance. Public transportation only 3-4 blocks away. CitiBike rental also in the area! Lena was very responsive to questions & concerns I had and she recommended amazing spots in NYC. Again, it's a perfect location if you are visiting NYC for the first time. I would not recommend if you are looking for a quiet place to stay in though. Car honking & ambulance noises were common during the week.
