Alex is a super host. Friendly, responsive and authentic. She was very accommodating, helpful and gave us some superb recommendations on where to eat, places to see and do. In the city that never sleeps. Even though we had a delay that messed up our arrival time. (Several hours late) She still made the time to meet us. That was amazing for us. The welcome packet was more than clear but meeting the Host is always a A+. She gave some amazing recommendations as well. Being an Art teacher was a plus for us since Art is what my wife and I are really enjoyed. We also enjoyed her home immensely, which is in the heart of the East Village free standing well appointed and HUGE. If you are in NYC, you must stay at Alex's, East Village home. I would highly recommend this location and her as a Super Duper Host.
