Helena's place is great for those who want to explore the UES or just NYC in general! Helena was a super awesome host and was gracious enough to quickly answer any questions I had. She also gave very detailed and helpful instructions to avoid any confusion. The apartment is in a great location with lots of shops, restaurants, bars, Central Park, and museums close by. You can also just about Uber or ride the subway to any other part of NYC as well. I would recommend this if you're mostly planning on being out and about since it is a room in a shared apartment. I really enjoyed my stay here!
