Alexandra was an exceptional hostess! Our situation for visiting New York was a little different circumstances than most of her visitors. We were there because our son was having brain surgery. We couldn't have asked for a better person or place to stay! Alexandra was very helpful in teaching us the ropes of the subway, suggesting places to eat, and any other questions we needed answered. The apartment was immaculate, spacious, and had everything we needed to be comfortable. The location was very close to restaurants, food markets, subway, etc... Alexandra gave us our privacy, but was always there when we needed her! It's comforting to know whenever we return to New York we have an ideal place to stay!
