Alexandre's apartment was wonderful - large, clean, comfortable and with great, much needed air conditioning after returning from our treks into New York City. The neighborhood is a real neighborhood, which is what we wanted, and not too gentrified yet. An easy 3 block or so walk to the J line station and there were great restaurants nearby (we are twice at Saraghina because it was so good!). We were very thankful that Alexandre was able to accommodate us after our original host cancelled our AirBnB reservation only 5 days prior to our arrival. A great stay overall and if we come back to New York, we would definitely stay in Alexandre's apartment again.
