This place is in an amazing location! We were close to battery park which I loved and everything was a short walk away. My only con was the bed. Alena stated that she had a blow up bed so we thought ehhh we will give it a try. As a couple sleeping on it just did not work for us but she did warn us in advance so we can't complain. She was an amazing host and showed us around her place which made it very personal. Her home was chic and had a large layout for a downtown manhattan apartment. We loved our stay!!!
