Jun 27, 2019Nice apartment. Cozy. Great for single or a young couple. New furniture. Very good location on upper west a side. Subway is only 2 minutes of walk. Close to central park, many small resturants around. Alina was very welcoming, she was very flexible on cheacking in and out. Will stay again.
Jun 27, 2019Tidy, light-filled space, everything I needed to be comfortable. Would gladly stay again!
Jun 27, 2019Great apartment! Very clean, comfortable, good taste and great location (2 minutes from the subway). Alina was very attentive and careful with details. She even bought me a sponge bath! I felt like home. Surely I will be back.
Jun 27, 2019Alina went the extra mile to make us feel at home at her place. Her studio is located just a few blocks from the legendary Dakota Building. The neighborhood is very friendly. You feel like a real New Yorker when you stay there. The studio is perfect for one or two people, we had ample storage space. We would definitely stay there again.
Jun 27, 2019Alina's apartment is great. Clean and tidy, comfortable and very near a subway station. Very good location, would gladly stay again!
Jun 27, 2019Alina was a great host! She was really responsive and easy to communicate with and very flexible with my arrival and departure times. She was warm and welcoming upon arrival and quick to respond when I had a question half way through my stay. The apartment is in a great location just half a block from the subway and lots of amazing markets, shops and the park. It was just as pictured in the listing, very comfortable for one person and clean. I highly recommend Alina's place and look forward to staying there again.
Jun 27, 2019Alina is nice and charming person. Her apartment is very clean and comfortable. Felt myself just like at home. Very close to subway station, lots of places to eat nearby. For sure I will be glad to stay again.
Jun 27, 2019We felt Alina's hospitality from a very first moment. She was able to accommodate our early check in and a late check out. We were met and welcomed in the apartment in person. The description was accurate, and the studio was nice and clean. Everything we might have needed was provided. We liked the location very much: TJ around the corner, the Lincoln Center and Central Park within walking distance.
Jun 27, 2019I enjoyed my stay at Alina's place. It was clean, comfortable, and the location is very convenient, just half a block down from the subway entrance. Alina was a gracious host. She waited until the wee hours to meet me in person, since my flight arrived late. When I got there, she had made the bed up for me, knowing I would be tired from a long day of travel. There were plenty of fresh clean towels in the bathroom, and just enough in the kitchen - tea, some drinks in the fridge, etc. - to make me feel at home. The only thing that was a little tricky was the wifi, which works a bit differently from some hotels, in that you have to unplug it so it doesn't overheat and then make sure it's plugged back in so it doesn't lose power. My devices didn't seem to be able to quite stay connected consistently and my iPad never connected at all, but Alina mentioned she'd never had that issue before, so it might have just been my iPad! She was very sweet and offered to bring her laptop by so I could get online without interruption, but I was able to manage for the most part! I would recommend Alina as a host and I would be glad to stay in her place again. Thank you, Alina, for your hospitality!
Jun 27, 2019Alina's apartment was a great spot to stay in New York. The location was perfect (half a block from the train station), and the apartment was very nice. Alina was very accommodating and let us check in early because our flight arrived before our check-in time. She also had a bottle of wine waiting for us to welcome us to the city, which was very nice. We had a wonderful trip!
Jun 27, 2019Alina did a great job arranging to get us the keys even thought we were coming in super late. This apartment was in a fun, safe area of NY and we had a great weekend.
Jun 27, 2019Although I didn't get to meet Alina, everything went smoothly, she arranged for her neighbour to meet me on arrival who let me in and made me feel welcome. The place was perfect for our needs, great location, everything as described, would certainly stay again!
Jun 27, 2019Alina was very accommodating and an excellent host! Our previous housing situation was cancelled last minute so we were scrambling to find a place to stay. Thankfully, Alina was very accommodating and worked around our checkin and checkout schedule. The apartment was clean, and a perfect/spacious size for two guests. The location of the apartment is also very convenient and there are many places to go within walking distance. I would highly recommend this place to others and would definitely stay at this apartment again!
Jun 27, 2019A large bright studio with updated kitchen and bath in a great neighborhood. Communication was easy and the responses were very quick.
Jun 27, 2019Even though I was almost an hour late Alina was very welcoming on arrival. The apartment was very clean and bright. It’s in a great location next to the subway to get downtown. I would recommended this apartment to anyone wanting to stay in NYC.
Jun 27, 2019Before our trip, Alina responded to us very quickly. I had no trouble getting any info. Alina greeted us at the apt upon our arrival. She provided us a quick tour and gave us her keys. We had a pleasant time at her apt during our stay.
Jun 27, 2019- Alina was very friendly. She allowed us to keep our stuff in the apartment in the morning before check in time and last day after check out time, which was extremely helpful and we didn't have to carry the luggage while walking in NYC. She fixed the wifi issues in less than two hours. Alina even sent us a recommendation for some live jazz place to attend :). - The location is great: 2 min from subway, walking distance to Central Park / Riverside Park / most other places in upper west side. - The house is ok. The apartment is pretty small / bathroom is pretty old, but besides that we totally enjoyed our stay. Overall, would definitely recommend for friends.
Jun 27, 2019Communication was wonderful with Alina, and she was very accommodating with both my arrival and departure from the apartment. This is a great place, with lots of natural sunlight, large closet for clothes, nice work/dining table. A very quiet (high floor) studio in my favorite section of the upper west side. Great value, esp. for a single traveler, but could work well for a couple as well. Good A/C for the warmer months, and very secure and friendly building with laundry in the basement.
Jun 27, 2019Although I didn't get to meet Alina, everything went smoothly, she arranged for her neighbour to meet me on arrival who let me in and made me feel welcome. Alina was very responsive to each email and answered all my questions promptly. The studio is divine, bright, well appointed and cozy. My husband and I enjoyed our stay and would certainly consider Alina's place for a future trip. It has a great location, near restaurants, the subway and central park. We appreciated the goodies left for us in the fridge and the flexibility of checkin and checkout. Thank you Alina
Jun 27, 2019The host Alina makes the whole process of renting her place super easy. She got back to me right away when I contacted her. She met us at the apartment and gave us the key. She explained everything about the apartment and the surrounding area. She answered all of our questions. The apartment is in the PERFECT location. It's close to the subway (with an express train), Central Park, a Trader Joe's etc. The apartment is equipped with the basics. We had everything we needed. I will definitely stay here again.
Jun 27, 2019Staying at Alina's place is great. Especially for two people. The kitchen is small but you can perfectly cook in it. There is a microwave and the fridge is huge. Alina also left coffee and tea for us. Everything was very clean. The view from the apartment is great. The location is also fine, only a few blocks away from Central Park, and you have the red subway line which takes you directly to mid - and downtown. Communication with Alina was fast and easy. All and all, I recommend staying at Alina's place.
Jun 27, 2019Communication with host was excellent. I would recommend careful consideration before renting this apartment during the summer. The streets were considerably cooler.
Jun 27, 2019The host did everything she said she would do. I had asked for three pillows, and she gave me three pillows. And showed where the extra linens were and generally did a great job making the place comfortable. Great communication. The place was exactly what I expected from the description and photos. And a phenomenal value over a hotel. I would stay there again. What a great first experience with AirBnB.
Jun 27, 2019Alina greeted us warmly as soon as we arrived and was very accommodating. We had to do an earlier check-out than we had planned so that she could prep the apartment for new guests, but Alina kindly allowed for us to keep our bags in the apartment until we needed to catch our flight—we were free to spend our last morning roaming the neighbourhood without lugging a suitcase around. The apartment itself is in a great location, in a secure building with easy access to many restaurants and the subways (and was walking distance from Central Park). Everything was very clean and Alina showed us where we could find extra bedding, toiletries, and tea, should we need any. Note that if you can only sleep comfortable on a "real bed", then the bed in this apartment may not be a good fit for you. It's ideal for a single person (so you can sleep on both mattresses), but folded out to full length it was fine for myself and my fiancée. I would be happy to stay in this studio again. Thank you Alina!
Jun 27, 2019Alina was a very nice host. Very accommodating with our early arrival which somewhat overlapped the departure of the previous guest (we literally passed each other at the doorway upon our arrival!) We are familiar with this part of the Upper West Side so we knew the location was perfect for our needs (to be near our college kids). In the past, we stayed at boutique hotels in the area but decided to give Airbnb a try. This Studio apartment is pretty typical of the area - older buildings with some remodeling done, small spaces, facing a bustling street below - so things just feel old but the place is smartly/tastefully furnished to maximize space & the neighborhood offers great eating & shopping options (Trader Joes!) & terrific transportation convenience within easy walking distance! There's AC & fast WiFi - great pluses. We stayed there for 3 days and came to the conclusion that for about the same as living in a hotel, the 'homey' feel was a plus. Did I say I loved the location?
Jun 27, 2019Staying at Alina's was our first airbnb experience and it went wonderfully! Alina is very sweet and helpful - communicating with her was a breeze! She showed us everything we needed in the apartment - even had some beers for us in the fridge! The location of the apartment was perfect - so close to the train and like 2 1/2 blocks to Central Park. The area around her home felt very safe. There were a lot of restaurants, bars, and grocery stores within walking distance. We weren't too far from Levain as well so it was easy to get cookies and not have to wait in line during the weekdays ;). I think our only issue was that our wifi didn't really work on our phones (but we didn't troubleshoot or ask her about it either). I would definitely stay here again the next time I'm in NYC.
Jun 27, 2019Alina fue una excelente anfitrión. Se preocupo siempre para que todo estuviera bien. El primer día no había internet, pero ella se preocupo por solucionarlo rápidamente. El departamento esta muy bien ubicado. Esta en el piso 14 pero no hay mucha vista porque hay otros edificios cercanos. A solo una cuadra esta el metro y para el otro lado a solo dos cuadras la costa del Hudson que en un espectáculo magnifico con sus arboles y su senda para peatones o ciclistas y las bicicletas que se pueden alquilar a solo 150 metros. Como dice el anuncio la cama es un sofa rebatible y seria mas comoda para una sola persona, dado que para dos hay que armar y desarmar todo el tiempo. A los pasillos del edifico se ve que los limpian una vez por semana, pero esta bastante bien.
Jun 27, 2019Alina was a nice relaxed host. I have no hesitation in recommending this apartment to visitors to New York City. The apartment is pretty much in line with how the listing describes it - it is neat and clean and it is a convenient location. Staying here was so easy for a first time visitor to New York City. I hope I can come back sometime soon and stay again!!
Jun 27, 2019Great place to stay, especially if traveling solo. Very clean. The apartment overlooks 72nd street, so there is good light and its high enough up that the street noise isn't bad. Good communication with Alina. Couldn't ask for a more convenient location. I'd stay again
Jun 27, 2019Great apartment in a very convenient location! I will certainly be back to stay at Alina's again.
Jun 27, 2019Enjoyed my stay!
Jun 27, 2019I had an excellent stay in Alina's apartment. She was a very gracious host, and accommodated my need for a late arrival (11:00 pm) in person with no problems. Her apartment was sizable for a studio and very well laid out, making for a very comfortable stay for 1 person. I would be happy to stay in her apartment again.
Jun 27, 2019This was my first experience on Airbnb and Alina, my host, made it a great one. Her place was wonderful and she made my trip less stressful. Alina, thank you very much.
Jun 27, 2019Alina was very helpful in arranging for a friend to be there when we got in at 10PM (she was away). We were driving up and got stuck in traffic. The apartment is as billed. Great neighborhood. It is an older prewar apartment with some of the quirks of such buildings e.g. the apartment was toasty warm with the heat off:). All in all a nice place to stay for one person in the city. Will likely rent again as I am often in NYC.
Jun 27, 2019Alina’s home was very nice. Just as advertised. Great space, perfect for multiple nights stay. Comfortable and nice kitchen and bathroom.
Jun 27, 2019Alina is a wonderful host. Quick to respond. Place was exactly as described, clean and on the upper West side. Quiet building. Loved staying here
Jun 27, 2019Loved my stay at Alina’s! Excellent location just steps from subway and bus. If you want to experience a classic pre-war building, this is your place. Perfect for 1 person, would be very cozy for 2. Ideal for a solo woman traveler. Very safe area. Lots of shops, restos, and bars close by.
Jun 27, 2019An excellent location on the UWS and so close to EVERYthing. The bus on W 72nd! The subway (1, 2, 3)! The Sugar Bar (R&B club)! Sushi Yasaka! Super safe for a woman traveling alone, BTW. This is now my "go to" airbnb in NYC.
Jun 27, 2019Great location on the UWS! Super safe...great for solo women travelers! This was my 3rd time staying here so now is my super fave! Check out the Sugar Bar, especially on Tuesday and Thursday nights. Great R&B music, excellent food and drink, and warm & welcoming vibe!
Jun 27, 2019Alina was helpful and considerate. The apartment was very well located and as described.
Jun 27, 2019Great place in a great location. Everything was as described. Very responsive and accommodating host.
Jun 27, 2019Alina was great, she was so supportive in everything you want to know. Location is just about 10 min walk to Central Park and 3 min walk to MTA station. The room was clean and comfortable.
