I stayed at Alicia's apartment for 5 nights. It was exactly as described. I had planned to visit several places in northern Manhattan, (the Cloisters, historic Harlem, Columbia University, & the Cathedral of St. John the Divine), and the location of this apartment was perfect for that. The subway (1 train) is an easy 1 block walk from the apartment building, making it convenient to access any place in the city, really.
I loved that the bedroom has a half bath en suite, and absolutely loved the view of the Hudson River from the bedroom and bed. It was a wonderful view to wake up to every morning! The apartment itself was quiet, and the bed was very comfortable- I slept very well which is not usual for me away from home. The private entrance is located right across the hall from the bedroom, so it is easy to come and go without disturbing anyone else in the household. The kitchen is right near the bedroom, easy to access if needed as well.
Alicia was very friendly and she and her son, who greeted me when I arrived, made me feel right at home. I would not hesitate to stay here again!
