The bedroom was indeed large and sunny. It was very quiet and clean too. The neighbourhood is very pleasant (cool restaurants and bars, close to the park).
The R subway station is right around the corner. It is not far away from downtown Manhattan and very convenient to visit the statue of Liberty or take a ferry. The trip to Harlem or the Guggenheim museum is a bit long though.
We did not see Liz a lot - the apartment is on too levels and allows a good level of privacy - but when we did, she was very nice and helpful.
Liz's cat is friendly, funny and seems to love suitcases.
We had a great time and highly recommend Liz's place!
