Alicia was a really nice host! I felt very comfortable in her house. My room was clean with a great view, like in the ad. She is an easygoing person. She've helped me to know all the direction that I needed in the city. Regarding the location of the apartment, although is not in downtown, the neighbourhood (Harlem) is very safety and quiet. Her apartment is only few blocks to the Subway, which make all the difference when we need to move around the city. Definitely is going to be my home in my next time in NY. Strongly recommended for all Airbnb community.
