Alexi's place is the perfect option for any New York explorer on a budget. The location is a perfect 2 minute walk from the Myrtle Avenue Subway station which connects to downtow Manhattan via the J or M lines in under 20 minutes. Her student housemates were accomodating and happy to help. The room itself is simple but well thought out and there are lots of thoughtful touches that make it seem homely. Bathtub and en suite was a huge plus for me. Only small downside was length of bed which taller people may find a little inconvenient, but it really wasn't a big issue at all. Communication was great and useful tips and tricks for NYC were given. Highly recommended.
