My wife and I spent a week in Alex's studio. The location is great, 10 minutes walk from the subway station near the Flatiron building in Midtown Manhattan, with lots of amenities and restaurants nearby. The downside is that with the windows facing the 2nd Avenue, traffic noise can be loud even during the night (we solved the issue with earplugs). The studio is generally in good conditions, in need of some renovation but everything was in working order with clean bedlinen and towels provided. Alex has been a really kind host, always available to answer our questions. We would recommend the place for your stay in NYC.
