This is a really great find on NY! Alicia is a very welcoming host. She helped me navigate through the transportation in the city, answered questions I had, and conversed with me over tea in the mornings. She got me out of trouble by ordering a cab when I was late for my flight. I don't think you can get that sort of attention or experience in a hotel. I felt very much at home. The place itself is cozy and full of art with a beautiful view of the river. It's just a block away from the subway, so for an affordable price you can easily reach the rest of the city. Overall, I would definitely recommend. 10/10.
