Alexandra was an amazing host! She was easily reachable through texting and very fast with her responses. We loved the room we stayed in. It was clean, comfortable, and had the bare necessities such has shampoo and conditioner. We had our own set of keys and access code to the building which gave us our independence and made us feel like a real New Yorker. The location of her building was a short walking distance to the subways (only a few blocks). The area was pretty safe. We never went out alone after dark and never felt unsafe in the area. We'd rent from Alexandra again in the future!
