My wife and I stayed in Alex's apartment for a month an May 2013 and found the place very comfortable. It's in a great location, an easy walk to West Village, Soho, Union Square etc. The apartment is big by NYC standards,which is great especially if you are staying for an extended period of time. There is plenty of storage, a big bedroom and a very comfortable bed.

Alex was the ideal host. Easy to communicate with, friendly and helpful, had some great suggestions that suited us perfectly.

It can get noisy on the weekends as on there a a few bars on street level, however for us that was not an issue as we were out and about most of the time. (it is NYC after all)

Alex's apartment is a great option for those looking for a classic yet affordable New York experience.
