This is a great deal of a place with one minor issue that should be mentioned in the description.
Aleksandra is a kind host who got me checked in late in the evening on short notice when other housing fell through. Her place feels welcoming and well put together. The only issue is it's right next to a daycare that begins at 7:30 a.m. So you wake up and spend the whole morning hearing kids getting yelled at, doing jumping jacks, and singing Old McDonald. Noise is a factor everywhere in NYC. Just helps to have a heads up so can plan accordingly! Overall, a good stay.
