Alexander is very accommodating and friendly. The appartment is clean but small but exactly as shown in the photos. The shower is a bit tricky because there is no place for toiletries and the sink is so small that you cannot even put your toothbrush on the counter. The neighborhood is quite quiet and 10 minute walk from a metro station that takes 45 minutes to get downtown Manhattan. The appartment was very clean however lacked some utilities such as oven mitts and scissors as well as containers to store food. Also, if you go during the winter, the floor gets quite cold and the only form of heating is a small electrical heater that makes loud ticking noises that we ended up turning off for the night as it bothered us. These are just tiny things to know for those voyagers who rather know it all and be prepared, I do recommend Alexander's place especially for short stays to visit the city!
