I loved my stay at Ala's place so much! He was attentive, and ​responsive and made sure to check up and see how I was enjoying my stay and if I needed anything. The apartment itself is very new and modern and I felt very safe. There also is a laundry room in the building as well as a rooftop which I adored. The bedroom was cozy, clean, and super sunny! It is a bit far from Manhattan; however, it is super close to the subway. I definitely recommend staying at Ala's place! :)
