Alicia is a great host, you won't notice she's there unless you need something from her, so it feels you have the whole apartment to yourself. She's also very flexible and generous.
Location is very good, with nearby metro lines and all kind of stores.
Room is good size and luminous. Bed is comfortable and with low pillows (which I prefer). AC works perfectly.
The downside includes a cigarette smell that has already been addressed by other guests and some minor cleaning and order issues we thought could be improved (all in the common areas, room was perfect).
In short, Alicia's is a comfortable and convenient place to stay while in NYC. Would definitely recommend it to friends and family.
