Alex was an amazing host! I was traveling to NYC on my own for the first time so safety was very important to me. Alex's place is in a very safe neighborhood in Bushwick and is a very short walk from the subway. Her place is also very clean and tidy. As a host, she made me feel very welcome in her home and became a very good friend of mine by the end of the trip. If you are a solo traveler looking to explore NYC- Alex's place is definitely an ideal place. I'm looking forward to staying with Alex again in the future!
