Alicia was a wonderful host. A real New Yorker with excellent knowledge of the city and lots of fantastic inside tips. She and her family are very easy going and laid back. I enjoyed the african touch of the appartment and the family and learned a lot about Senegal and its music.
The room is sufficiently big and I enjoyed having my own bathroom. The view from the room is amazing and every evening and morning I enjoyed the view over the bridge. My room was next to the kitchen and I even had my own entrance, so it felt like an own appartment.
