Alvin was very communicative before and during our stay. His apartment is right in the middle of everything and was perfect for our 4 day blitz of New York. We didn't spend too much time in the flat itself as we were often out seeing as much as we could. Alvin was a very helpful host checking in throughout our stay to see if there was anything he could assist with.
Others have left feedback suggesting the flat is quite noisy with the subways. We were pleasantly surprised to find it not that noisy and we got a decent night sleep.
The flat is a short walk to the subway, Soho, Greenwich village and a within a walkable distance from other attractions like central park / Brooklyn bridge.
