It's so important for there to be a range of housing stock options available on Airbnb. Alex's place is the perfect "as advertised" crash pad for anybody seeking a more affordable way to stay in Manhattan without breaking the bank as badly. This comes with older apartment quirks like slanted staircases heading up and knowing that you're in an older apartment. Great place! And the common area is gigantic by any standard, and it's like a mansion by Manhattan standards, so snap this place up if you see it available!
