I had an absolutely wonderful stay with Alicia! From the beginning, she was extremely responsive. She was even flexible and worked with me to postpone my reservation when a snow storm forcibly changed my travel plans. She and her family are very kind and welcoming, and Alicia offered lots of helpful advice for getting around New York. The room couldn't be more perfect for a single traveler. It is very cozy and comfortable, and provides an absolutely gorgeous view of the George Washington Bridge. It is furnished with all the comforts of home, including a handy clothes rack with hangers, a full length mirror, and an outlet by the bed. The room is situated at the opposite end of the house from the living area and other bedrooms so you can come and go as you please without disturbing anyone. It is also conveniently right next to the kitchen. The attached half bath allows for additional privacy. I never had any issues using the shower in the shared main bathroom, which provides good water pressure and consistently warm/hot water, which is always a major plus for me. :) Alicia's flat is extremely well connected. The 1 train, which will take you to Times Square in about 30 minutes, is about a two minute walk away. There are also lots of restaurants, cafes, pharmacies, and grocery stores on 145th street right around the corner. I would absolutely stay with Alicia again the next time I'm in NYC, and I highly recommend her place to anyone else looking to stay in Manhattan! Thanks, Alicia! :)
