We really enjoyed staying at Aleksandr place! It’s the best when it comes to the price - quality balance!
Whole apartment and the room itself is very clean and well maintained. You’re provided with essentials such as towels, clean linens, many pillows, functioning TV with Netflix access and, even though the place is shared with Aleksandr and his family, you get whole mini-fridge for yourself in the kitchen!
We asked Aleksandr about leaving our bags before check-in. Aleksandr responded very quickly to our message saying that early check-in was possible and instead of checking-in at 6PM we could use the room around 1PM which was super cool and really unexpected. Thank you so much for that!
The place is only 10 minutes walk from subway station (Kew Gardens - Union Tpke) and from there it’s only 20 minutes ride to the heart of Manhattan.
For those who don’t like sharing most space though, this place might not be for you. To get to the room you’re about to rent you have to walk through living room and the kitchen. If you want to sleep in, keep in mind the fact that the family will use the kitchen (which is just outside the door) early in the morning. If you don’t have any problem with those things - this place is perfect for you!
Overall, we’re so glad our first choice of AirBnB rental never responded to our request to rent his place - we’re very happy about our stay in Aleksandr place! 10/10!
