Big THANK YOU to Alexandra for making our NY trip wonderful. All the positive reviews about her and her apartment are true. You will appreciate this apartment whatever your purpose of coming to New York is. We stayed for five days and I commuted to work (downtown Manhattan). Super convenient. My wife and kids were touring the city and meeting friends/relatives and the place worked well for them too. The apartment was exactly as described. Very spacious and clean, and with everything that you need. Because its in the 2nd floor, you get lots of sunlight. The neighborhood is great too. Nice shops and restaurants. Alexandra has some recommendations, and we tried a few. All were good.
Why pick a tiny place in Manhattan that costs more when you can experience the true New York living in a spacious apartment and with a great host!
