I thoroughly enjoyed my week's stay at Alix's apartment. It's cozy and generous at the same time. Plenty of daylight and amenities. Plus connecting with real local people is priceless and can't be booked with even the most luxurious of hotel rooms. The location is amazing too, and the most important subways to UWS, UES and JFK are literally just steps away on Canal st. It should be mentioned that people smoke from time to time in the apartment and that the loft bed has limited headroom, but I'm sure Alix does in her listing, just saying. All in all I can but highly recommend this home and host. Thumbs up galore!
