It was our first experiment of Airbnb, and Amir and his wife were the perfect guests.
On our arrival, Amir was waiting for us, and took the time to show us all the neighborhood, restaurants, shops, subways stations (really kind of you Amir !)
The place is like the picture shows it, and we felt just like home in the alcove aptartment. It was clean and neat, and quiet even if we heard the trains sometimes. We stayed there in november, and so the weather was very nice and warm, we enjoyed the patio (cool place indeed).
The neighborhood is OK, 125th street is a busy street anytime of day or night, and we never felt insecure at all, even coming home late at night.
Subway lines are very close (1-2-3 and 4-5-6 for both East and West Side), and express trains stop on 125th st., wich brings you Midtown and Downtown really fast!

We recommend the Alcove Studio
