Neighborhood Overview: A perfect location: it is not Turtle central, traffic and pedestrians are actually moving around here! And it is not too far from center of the Universe: Time Square, Columbus circle, Rockefeller center, Broadway and theatre district, Central Park, are some 20min subway ride away (which is pretty smooth for NYC commuting standards). We are just next to Hudson River, therefore the name Hudson Heights, we are on the cliffs here (George Washington Fort sight) and looking down on the river, yet still in Manhattan! Distinctive architecture, mostly Art Deco, a monumental GW Bridge, Met Cloisters museum and gardens (Medievel art). A Fort Tryon park with the great views of the river and bridge, and beautiful and solemn Palisades across (view of New Jersey), a beautiful garden, anytime od the year, is a great spot for photography. There is a lot to learn historically and a lot to explore geographically. The neighborhood is only composed of few streets, very small and unique and very convenient

Notes:

Transit: The A train stops 181 street and 190 street , are just 5 minutes away in either direction. An A train connects you to anywhere, pretty much, midtown and downtown of Manhattan, with connections to East side of Manhattan too. It takes you very fast to Wall Street or Brooklyn and you won't need to change trains. A buss M 4 stops in front of the building and takes you directly to famous Fifth avenue or Madison Avenue on the way back, shopping center of the world! A 1 line is 10min away but you can always transfer to 1 train at 168th street.

Access: Everything except my room. There are two rooms available, keep in mind, a sitting area and bedroom for guest only. Kitchen is on disposal and bathroom of course. There is a laundry room in the basement of the building. The card will be provided. Outside:it is all yours!

Interaction: Rarely, I'm very busy working and getting about, otherwise binge watching in my room or sleeping. Assuming the guests want their space and their privacy, I'll be polite and courteous but I'll stay out of the way.

House Rules: Respectfully, politely in a relaxed manner. It is not a school, only common sense and common decency need to be applied. Yet we are all different therefore: Try to keep it neat and clean to best of your abilities, be respectful towards the property and the neighbors. No dirty shoes around the house. Use all common areas by all means but let's keep our privacy in our own quarters. You need to vow and swear to a general safety, that I and my premises will stay and remain safe from any possible harm, fire, damage, flood, theft, bodily harm. Your personal information, government ID and such, will be taken in advance. You are absolutely to stay away from my bedroom. We do not want bugs and pests, therefore the garbage disposal guidance need to be followed.

  • Reviewer: Ashley

    Comments: Aleksandras space was very clean and convenient. She had excellent communication which made for an easy experience. Though the ID policy is uncomfortable the house rules are not unreasonable. If you are interested in utilizing the TV then leave your HDMI cable at home because it’s not compatible. Aside from that the area is fantastic, there are plenty of bars, restaurants and markets for food. Also, if you are looking for a great nyc sandwich, visit the Tyron Grill which is a very short walk away.

    Comments: Aleksandra’s place was sparkling clean when I arrived. All the amenities were working and the space was more than accommodating! Comfy bed with black out curtains for a good night sleep, access to a full kitchen to make morning coffee/breakfast. New entertainment center in the bedroom is easy to use and great quality. Really can’t write a good enough review for my stay, the place was exactly as described if not better and the location in upper Manhattan is quiet but still in touch with the city. Food options around the place are delicious, and he grocery store is next door to the building. Would definitely recommend to anyone who has work in the city or is looking to get away from he busy life but still have access to it. Aleksandra is a saint, a great communicator, and an overall outstanding host. Wishing her nothing but the best! Thank you!

    Comments: Aleksandra’s place is lovely - spacious, airy and lots of natural light. Easy to find and close to two subway stations that easily connects you to all the tourist attractions within the hour. Grocery store and nice eateries nearby. She has a morning checkin while I was arriving late afternoon but she kindly arranged for a late evening checkin. Many guest would find a morning checkin convenient so that’s cool. She was away so I didn’t get to meet her but her roommate Luis was most helpful and generous. We tried our best to keep the place as neat as we found it and enjoyed making our own breakfast and snacks in her cute kitchen. We had some communication glitches causing some stress but all got sorted later and overall had a comfortable stay. Thank you and all the best Aleksandra.

  • Reviewer: Jake

    Comments: A gem on Manhattan. If you’re ok riding the subway, this is completely worth it (as it’s much cheaper than alternatives). 3 blocks from the A Train, which can get you anywhere you need to go.

  • Reviewer: Justin

    Comments: I had a great experience for my first time in nyc. It was very clean an peaceful!

  • Reviewer: Gabriela

    Comments: Aleksandra fue una gran hostess, estaba de ñrisa ese día pero nos mostró rápidamente el lugar y los servicios. El departamenti estaba muy limpio, teníamos sábanas limpias y toallas disponibles. Tambien puso a nuestra disposición café y cereal para que desayunáramos ahí. Nos ofreció guardar en el refrigerador lo que comprásemos y también contamos con acceso a la estufa y utensilios. El lugar es muy silencioso y con una gran ubicación, cerca de mini super y algunas estaciones del subterráneo, es un ride de unos 25min hacia el centro de Manhattan. Su roomie también es muy agradable, nos ayudó un par de veces con la cerradura, que tiene truco. Ya no pudimos despedirnos pues ella se fue a pasar el fin de semana pero estuvimos muy a gusto y definitivamente volveríamos encantadas. Muchas gracias!
