Allie's place was great! It is cute, warm, well-decorated and very spacious for a single traveler or a couple. A fantastic and affordable one bedroom apartment in Manhattan, those are hard to come by! The location can't be beat- it's right near Union Square which is a major subway hub and also a really great neighborhood full of restaurants, cafes, shops, etc. It is close and convenient to everything. Allie herself is a great host, she was out of town while I was there but made sure everything was all set for my stay through her excellent and prompt communications. I highly recommend her place and look forward to staying there again next time I am in New York.
