I did not meet Loralee in person, but we had no problem to communicate before I arrive. She was very helpful and gave me all the necessary information. She also gave me advice about some restaurants in the neighborhood :)

The apartment is in a very good location, with a few stores, cafés and delis within walking distance from the apartment. A very hipster and arty atmosphere around! The subway station is 5 min walk from the flat, so Manhattan and all the other boroughs are very easily reachable, ideal to visit and discover the city.

The apartment is a large loft with a huge living room and four bedrooms. The room does not have a lot of natural light but it is comfortable - all you need when you do not spend much time in the apartment. There is a kitchen if you feel like cooking. The bathroom is simple and convenient (not clean at the beginning of my stay though). The housemates were very friendly and ready to help.

I would recommend to stay at Loralee's place if you are looking for affordable and simple accommodation, close enough to the subway to fully enjoy this incredible city!
