Tatiana is such a sweet host - she offered great recommendations of things to do around the city, and the apartment is SO close - literally half a block - away from a subway stop. We were able to get into the city in around 15 minutes. You only need to take one direct train to get to Manhattan and it's super quick/easy. The apartment itself is cute, very clean, and has a really nice energy about it. You get the real NY apartment experience while you're there. Would definitely recommend and stay here again!
