Alesandra is definitely a wonderful hostess (as well as her boyfriend, is quite friendly and polite). Always warm greetings and she helped us a lots. Thanks for her pastries that were really helpful to feed us, especially after so many accidents occurred on the way to the airport. (all travelers don't forget to check the condition of subway before leave in case trains suspend).
The area I feel is really safe even at 9-10PM, and it is really convenient to go to mid-town, Brooklyn and most popular sights. Highly recommended.
