Alex was very kind and willing, a very good host, the very best we could find! The house is clean and comfortable. It's placed in a very good position, just next to the subway station, the L line, that took you in just 15 minutes inside the Manhattan's heart. The area is very quiet, but there are many places to go to eat something or to have a drink; there are pubs, reataurants, bar, and so on.. The very interesting thing is that you can find everywhere lot of beautiful and amazing graffiti, just taking a look around we took more or less hundred pictures of them! We enjoed a lot our vacation and it's a very good place to stay to! thumbs up for Alex's house!
