Since I used Lydias room while she was away sadly I didn't get to meet her. I had read so much good stuff about her. People said she was so nice, someone to have a great time with, she gave great advise and tips about the neighborhood and you could spend long evenings having wonderful conversations with. I'm so happy that I got to meet Judith and some of her friends, because she was all that.
I came to NY to see if it could feel like home and it did. A big part of that is thanks to Judith.
For people considering if they want to stay at Lydias place: Do it!
You're right in the East Village, you drown in great restaurants and bars, you're in walking distance to almost all the cool spots you've seen in your favorite movies (except they're bollywood hits) and everything else is super near through several subway lines which are also in walking distance.
Great City, great people, grate place. I'll do it again.
