Alex was great! Very responsive and a really chill guy. We only saw him the first night we were there since we're were out all day for the duration of our stay. He's very easy going and we felt very welcomed at his place.

His place is just as described. My boyfriend and I stayed in his extra room, and it had enough space for us to place our stuff. It's a bit tight if you have two full luggages but you'll manage just fine. It rained one of the days we were there but Alex equipped our room with two umbrellas (as well as towels and extra pillows and plenty of space to hang our stuff) we were able to use in the closet. Alex also provided us with a folder about his spot, things to do and eat in NYC, transportation tips, wifi info, etc. We had a great time in NYC and would stay with Alex again. Check out the roof when you get the chance! LOVED the exposed brick wall!
