This is my first try for airbnb, and it was a pleasant stay at Alicia's! Check-in and out were smooth.The room is exactly like the posted pictures; great view waking up every morning as the Hudson River, the bridge and the moving cars themselves are one precious vivid picture of the City. The hosts were very considerate and caring. I can tell that Alicia has a cool and open-minded family;I enjoyed a lot hanging out with her son and his interesting friends when I was in the apartment. They're very helpful from advising on the real-life-New-York spots and neighborhoods to helping me to locate the nearest decent nail salon in the neighborhood as I needed my nails done badly one day.. :p It was also interesting to have shared some fun time in the kitchen. I'd say the stay was definitely more than just an accommodating experience! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! and oh, don't get intimidated by the location; I actually liked the area, as it 's literally 2 minutes' walk from the train station and surrounded by many friendly faces.
