Alissa and Aaron are a credit to Manhattan and its image they present to Australian tourists. We came from Melbourne on our first ever visit to Manhattan for a 15 days stay in their BNB apartment. It was extremely clean in all aspects, floors, bathroom, toilet, linen, fridge, stove, crockery & cutlery, glassware and kitchen cupboard ledges, bins, walls were all to an excellent hotel standard. Plenty of space for three guests suitcases to lay open and additional shopping suitcases, in both the bedroom and the lounge room. Two full mirrors and a bathroom mirror for multiple girls to get ready at one time.
Great level of security on doors and windows whilst at home ie windows open and also when not at home ie securely locked. The windows are positioned so as to create a lovely wind tunnel of fresh air when inside the apartment.
So so close to multiple 125th train station subways. We bought one $70 prepaid card and all three of us used the one card to travel downtown everyday for the 15 days. We were coming home as late as midnight and felt very safe in Harlem. Locals are very happy to help answer any questions even at midnight and heaps of other tourists that look like locals, haha will gladly admit they are learning how the five train lines can get them to the tourists spots.
Alissa was readily available by text messaging to help us out. We even asked her to print out our tickets to the Adele Concert at Madison Square Garden the day after we arrived!!! It was a last minute plan that made our New York Trip a dream come true! Even whilst Alissa was away in Japan for a bit, when we were there it was not a problem and we texted each other as if she was around the corner at work. Thank you Alissa and Aaron you were wonderful and we would love to come and stay again. We may never get back to New York in our lifetime but if we don't you will always be a significant part of how we see Manhattan, NY. ❤️❤️❤️ Kimberley, Mark and our 15 year old daughter Alexandra.
