The apartment was clean and pleasant, with lots of light from big windows, a kitchen well equipped for simple meals,and a nice, yet quite small bathroom.
The beds are really good and comfortable and there is plenty of living space. The apartment has a homy feeling, with the right amount of objects and furniture to be home, and without too many objects to be someone else's home.
Alexandra was all a host should be: unobtrusive, and always available to help.
The location is great: two subway stations and a five minute walk from midtown Manhattan, a good food shop and some laundry shops at a short walking distance.
The neighborhood is simple, it is an immigrants neighborhood, we felt safe and comfortable on the street.
I am sure that in our next visit to New York, this will be the first place we will look up.
