We had a fabulous time with Aleksandra in the loft. The apartment was very comfortable and spotlessly clean. Communication was very good and we enjoyed the tour of the neighbourhood that she gave us after checking in. The L TRAIN subway station is only 5 minutes walk away and it is very quick to get to Manhattan. As with most places in NYC, finding parking can be challenging on street cleaning days (alternative sides of the street on Mon/Tues and Thurs/Fri) where the neighbors engage in a game of vehicular musical chairs, but that's part of life in a big city like NY. Thanks both for being such kind and gracious hosts!
