Alicia is great! And her apartment or the room is too! I felt very well and you feel welcome and warmly welcomed. The room is quite enough and with the small private bathroom, it is really great from the price. For showering or bathing you change into the family bathroom which was not the slightest problem. The location of the apartment is great and from the subway you just have to walk down the street for about 2 minutes. I would come back anytime and would very much like to stay with her for a NYC trip.
