Lilian's directions were precise, and I had no problem to check in even though she was not there when I arrived. The apartment exceeded my expectations: clean, nicely decorated, with pretty much everything I needed. I liked the location: walking distance to Columbia and to a good set of shops/restaurants. I was initially afraid of street noise (people talking aloud), but everything went quiet after 10-11 PM. On my way to NYC I lost my adaptor, but Lilian's husband quickly gave me one the first time I ran into him.
On the overall, a very pleasant stay!
