My boyfriend and I had a great stay in Alex's place. We didn't get a chance to meet him, but he was available on the phone to provide us details to get the apt key and everything.The apartment is in a quiet and safe neighbourhood where many good restaurants, bars and 24/7 convinient stores are. It's walking distantce to the subway which takes you to lots of fun places you would like to go in the city. We think it's also a fair walking distance to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. We did enjoy our walk to the musem as well as the pretty upper east side neighborhood. We'd definitely recommond his place.
