I thoroughly enjoyed staying at Alicia’s place.

Communication was extremely easy from the very beginning on (she was the first host who preferred to exchange a couple of mails before accepting my request) and stayed like that throughout my time in NY. The room is as described and has everything you need — a private bathroom, several electrical outlets, enough space, a comfy bed and an incredible view. The entire flat itself is huge and has its very own charm to it.

Although it is officially in Harlem, I have not once felt uncomfortable or unsafe in the area, not even in the middle of the night. The subway (line #1, which covers almost all of Manhattans attractions) and a supermarket are literally around the corner, maybe a minute away.

I really recommend this place and look forward to coming back whenever I’m in NY.
