We are a family of 5 members (3 children from 6 to 12 years). We loved to stay at Lilian's place and really felt at home. The Duplex is very bright, comfortable, roomy and functional.
Lilian is always responsive and prudently willing to help upon request.
The neighborhood is friendly and open (do not miss the opportunity to pay a visit to the public W 123rd St Community Garden maintained by friendly neighborhood volunteers).
My son and I used to have our short early morning run (30´) to Central Park (1km distance from Lilian's place) and back (having our stretching at the Community Garden).
Communication is easy (Subway 5' at 125th St (junction Malcom X Av.).
Central Park North Entrance (2 stops from 125th St subway station or 1km walk)
Lasker public recreational site at Central Park (serves as both a pool during the summer and an ice skating rink during the winter) is just 100m from the Central Park north entrance.
We can not think of a better place to stay in NYC.
