Lola is a fabulous host. She was very welcoming and helpful before I even arrived (transportation from airport). She was warm, friendly and accommodating during my 6 night stay. She had great advice for getting around in the city and even took me for a bicycle tour one evening.
The building is older & well maintained, in a very nice neighborhood. The room is spacious by NYC standards and clean with A/C. Lola keeps her apartment tidy and I felt comfortable using the kitchen. I felt safe in the apartment and walking in the evening. I used citibike as my main mode of transportation (rental station located one block away...Lola showed me how it works). She makes THE BEST home made raw ice cream.
