We had a lovely time in New York staying at Alesandra’s place. We loved the busy neighbourhood of Spanish Harlem with its friendly people and wonderful places like The Lexington Social at Lexington Ave 1634 (great cocktails and tapas) and the Crepe Café at Lexington Ave 1642 (great for coffee and breakfast!). There is also a good supermarket nearby, the Super Fi Emporium at Lexington Ave 1635. Alesandra is very friendly, open and flexible and always just an app away for any question we had. We could use her kitchen and fridge and had the apartment almost always to ourselves as she is very busy working.
