If you want a non-personal, sterile and hotel-like stay in New York,- do not go to Lisa. If you want a more cosy, personal, interesting, and enjoyable place to stay,- go to Lisa,- if you can ( I think she gets booked really fast). We stayed for a week, my mother, my two daughters and myself,- youngest person 16, oldest 70. The loft was fantastic, our little "nest" in the back was clean, bright, silent, had good beds and had a lot of small details that made our stay comfortable and almost "like home". Every morning Lisa made the most fantastic breakfasts, her pancakes, frittatas and coffee will be remembered. Fresh fruit, juice,bakery..- you name it,- she got it. So the sleeping and eating gets high rates. But the best was Lisa herself,- and her ability to make you feel welcome and comfortable in her home. She is just a very kind, friendly, openminded, funny and interesting person to be around. Her knowledge and advices brought us to places we never would have found without her, experiences that "made" the trip beyond Empire State Building and Central Park. Her dogs were a charming and friendly part of the family, and after some days we also met the cat. Without hesitation I would say that staying at her place really added something special to our trip to New York, and when I go back I will definitely stay at her place again if it is possible.
