Phenomenal host. Alanah herself and her place are a perfect combo for solo female travelers, such as myself. I was in NYC for a job interview, and Alanah’s wonderful company and city insights tremendously helped me become familiar and comfortable in the city.
Her place is centrally located in vibrant Harlem. I loved the local vibe; I enjoyed walking around, eating at local delis and shops, and interacting with locals. If you’re high -maintenance and want to stay in a touristy bubble, perhaps look elsewhere. But if you’re open, adventurous, and want to be immersed in real NYC, Alanah and her place are amazing.
The best endorsement I can give is this: if I end up moving to NYC, I look forward to hanging out with Alanah!
