Alicia was very welcoming and helpful with navigating New York, and offered plenty of good ideas about things to do. It takes a bit of time to get to other parts of the city, but the neighborhood seems nice enough and I had a lovely stroll down Riverbank State Park one day, which is directly across the street. The subway stop is also only one block away. The room was very clean and private, with its own bathroom. I felt totally at home there, and had good conversations with Alicia and her son. I spent most of my time out of the house, but had a very pleasant experience for the five nights I was there, slept well, and enjoyed the company. Thanks so much!
