Lily's place was perfect - sparkling clean, with all necessary amenities (towels, soap, hair dryer, etc.). The location is unbeatable, with subway and bus stations everywhere and within a short walking distance to madison square park and Flat Iron. But best of all - Lily is a really outstanding host; she helped carry my (very) heavy suitcase to the flat, was accomodating about early check ins and late check outs, had the best tips and ideas about what to do and see in the city and was extremely friendly. This was my first ever solo travel and she made this a great experience. Highly recommended :).
