Alia was a great host. She was available and attentive to our needs. The apt was clean and extra towels and blankets were provided. The area was safe and quiet. Downtown Manhattan was 25min away on train. The 3 train is 3 blocks away, which was convenient. Grocery Stores were 2 blocks away. Heat and hotwater provided and extra heaters were provided as well. The apt had high-speed internet and Netflix was available instead. There was plenty of street parking available. Our departure flight was late and scheduled for the evening and Alia allowed us to stay pass the checkout time. Alia was wonderful and we would stay at her place in the future.
