I had a wonderful time staying at Alex's loft (for 17 nights)! He and his wife are extremely generous, and they went above and beyond to make my visit exceptionally comfortable! They truly care about their guests and provide a spotlessly clean, safe, and quiet place to stay. The apartment is lovely, very clean, and located in a nice area, conveniently close to the subway. The heating was great too--and was much appreciated on the cold November days. The room itself is very nice, with plenty of closet and storage space. It overlooks a back patio area, so is extremely quiet, with no noise from the street at all! I stayed at a few other airbnbs in Manhattan last year and Alex's place was by far a much, much better experience. I highly recommend staying at his place!
