Alexandra's place was a charming apartment to experience NYC from. I requested an early check in, and Alexandra graciously arranged for her cousin Ariel to meet me there, which worked out well. The location was fantastic, walking distance (~7-8 min wall to the station) to both A train & 1 train subway stations - you could get to just about anywhere Manhattan on these with a 30-45 minute ride. This location was also next to the gorgeous Fort Tryon Park, which contains The Met Cloisters museum - also walking distance! I would definitely stay here again.
