Ala’s place is very clean and cosy. The room is perfect for a few days in NYC (you’ll need to take the subway for 30 to 45 minutes to get to the “real” city center though, but the subway is very close to the apartment and it’s a good and fast connection). Ala is very kind as well and wanted to make sure that we had a good time, which we definitely had! So this is a very good choice if you want to find something affordable, clean, cosy and not too far from Manhattan.
