My friends and I stayed at Alexandra's apartment for our second trip to NY. She was amazing and helpful, allowing us to come check in early when our flight was changed and getting back to us with directions when we couldn't find it (because we put in the wrong address). There was a mishap with the bathroom, but Alexandra and her partner came to the rescue quickly even though it was past midnight. The apartment is small (but what isn't in NY), but three of us fit comfortably. And we felt safe in the area. There was a bus stop near the apartment, and it was about a .3 mile walk to the 116th St. subway station that we used every day of our trip. If we're ever back in NY, we'll definitely try to stay here again.
