Everything worked well with staying at Alexandra's place. It was clean and thankfully there was AC to survive the heat of NYC in July. There are a few good restaurants in the area and the subway station is about 3 blocks away which made it easy to get around to all the attractions in town. The self check-in and check-out went smoothly as well and we even got to leave the bags there for a few extra hours on the last day. Positive experience overall.
