I have stayed at Alesandra's place two nights early in December. She was lovely and helpful, as well as very responsive by email/airbnb website. The house is exactly as described in the website. It is 5 minutes of walk to Central Park and metro stops, that can bring you everywhere in Manhattan! Everything was clean, and I found my room in perfect conditions. It was my first experience with Airbnb and I will definitely consider to come back to her place if I go again in NY! Go to her place, you will have a great stay! :)
