Staying at Alicia's place is like..... being at home! The apartment is really nice and the guest's room, with private bathroom, allows you a complete independence. The place is very clean and tidy and the neighborhood is perfect: the line 1 of the underground just one block walking distance and, in case, two blocks away there are other 2 lines and they all takes you to Times Square in about 20 minutes. Moreover, even walking in the night along the streets, you feel safe and not worried at all.
Alicia and her husband are really nice, friendly,
soooo discreet and don't "press you" at all : they just let you "live your holiday" as you like (if you like to talk, to spend some time with them, it's fine.. but if you prefer to stay on your own... they respect your will!)
Unfortunately I was so eager to enjoy the city, that I didn't stay very often at home (I left in the morning and came back in the late evening)... so our "meetings" were .. occasional and quite short! Sorry, I really would have liked to talk with them much more. But definitely, I consider Alicia's place "my" NYC's home.. and I will come back, for sure!!!!
