We stayed at Alina's on quick weekend trip. I've been to NYC many times, but never stayed this far uptown. However, I really liked being removed from the hustle and bustle. This is a great location, right on the subway line and you can get to all the major tourist locations within 20-30 minutes on the Green 6 line. There are also many nice coffee shops within a couple blocks. Alina gave us lots of privacy, which was appreciated. The apartment was clean and comfortable. I would recommend!
