Lynn is a lovely host! She made me feel right at home after a long and tiring flight. She is a very open and social person. You will have the privacy you need, but Lynn is always there to have a nice chat. Travelling alone I very much enjoyed the company of Lynn and her cat Adam (such a sweet cat!!). The neighbourhood is safe and the apartment is in walking distance of many of New York's touristic sights. The room is small but cosy, and has a nice soft bed. My stay with Lynn definitely added to the great first experience with the city that never sleeps. If I come back to New York, I am definitely staying with Lynn again!
