Ali was a gracious host with a stylish space, great recommendations and authentic insight about NYC. We were able to see a side of the city (and get there in the quickest and most affordable way) that we wouldn't have been able to if we didn't have Ali as our host! Also, he got us the best banana pudding we've ever had. This was a quiet, peaceful neighborhood (which we hear is rare in the city) that also offers quick access to the subway and Manhattan when you want more of the hustle-and-bustle. I recommend his spot to anyone staying in NYC!
