Alex was our host, on our first morning he allowed us to check in early and had the room ready for us to sleep after an overnight flight, which was very kind. His directions to his house from the airport were immaculate. The location of the house is a nice 10 minute from a metro station on the same line as Times Square and Grand Central. The walk is over a bridge with some beautiful views of the city, especially at night. Alex was true to his word when he said he works all day. On our final day Alex even took time out of work to drop us at the bus station. Overall it was a great stay and we loved our time NYC.
