AMAZING STAY! Alex was a wonderful host, although we never met we knew he was always a phone call away. He went out of his way to provide a detail spreadsheet of places to see, eat and drink. Walking into his place there was fresh towels and linens. Very clean studio with access to his keurig and tv. The upper east side is a safe and quiet place which was perfect for two girls visiting NYC. The subway is about a 10 minute walk and takes you just about anywhere you would like to go. I definitely recommend staying at Alex's place!
