Alan’s place is great! It was my 8 year old daughter’s first NYC visit and staying here didn’t disappoint. The location is very close to the subway and other transportation that gives you the ability to get absolutely anywhere with ease and timeliness. We took the nearby subway and bus service for attractions and places such as Central Park, Times Sq, Statue of Liberty, 9/11 Memorial and the Empire State Building and each ride took under an hour to arrive Friday this location (even with transit delays). Save yourself the money of staying in the city and book with Alan now. He and his wife are great people and hosts and made our visit awesome with great communication, check-in, and check-out. We didn’t want to leave but we also can’t wait for another future visit!
