We were forced to make this reservation with very little advance notice... like hours..... due to another reservation that was not as depicted in the posting. Dilka was very kind and accomodating getting us into her place at the 11th hour. The flat was clean and well appointed. there were many steps to get to the flat so if you are not able to climb several flights of stairs with all your luggage and belongings, this may not be the place for you. It is in a safe neighborhood and very close the the metro station. There is not much in the area for groceries besides small corner markets that are VERY pricey even for NY. Coffee and filters would have been nice to have in the flat until you get settled, as would water, other than these very minor details, we could not have asked for a better place and definately no better of a hostess. Internet was easily accessed and as fast as one might wish for. Dikla even helped us find a parking place for the car which is nothing short of a miracle for this area. FYI!!!!Be very very careful where you park or the NYPD will tow your car.... they are merciless in that regard and it will cost you upwards of 300.00 to ge the car out of hock. I wont disclose why I know so much about this issue but suffice to say... BE CAREFUL!! :(
