Lisa's home is roomy, bright, and comfortable. She has a window unit air conditioner and a fan, which was great because August in NYC is hot. I kept the windows closed to keep it all a bit cooler, and with windows closed the space is also super-quiet.
My flight was delayed 6 hours and Lisa was super-responsive, always had a plan, and let me know not to worry. Her neighbors and friends across the street helped me get keys - it tells me Lisa and her bit of the neighborhood are kind, responsive, and help each other (I have more stories to the same effect!).
Location is great - there is a nice grocery and fabulous wine shop, plus lots of coffee shops and restaurants, within steps of the building. There is a subway station about two short blocks away which is fabulous because, when it's running properly, NYC subway will get you anywhere in the city.
