I can't say enough about how great of a host Lynne was. From my initial request to stay at her place (which was rather last minute) she was incredibly responsive and communicative. I was in a bit of a crunch of finding a place so this went a long way with me. She was very friendly and accommodating which made my stay at her place a delightful experience. Her apartment was also reflective of her personality and it was very tastefully decorated and comfortable. She even had fresh flowers in the room I stayed in which I thought was a thoughtful added touch. I truly felt like I was in an upscale bed and breakfast! If you are looking to stay in the UWS and want to be close to the park I would definitely recommend booking the room at Lynne's place!
