Lisa was such a great host. The city/travel can be intimidating, but Lisa is there to help. She was always reachable and happy to help. Her place is walking distance to the bus/subway. Super safe area. We came in several nights after midnight from the city and felt completely safe. Plenty of 24 hour diners. Her space is perfect. Even though it's a shared space it doesn't feel like it. The back patio was perfect for coffee and dinner. She has it all figured out we didn't have to ask for anything. Next time we're in New York we'll definitely stay with Lisa.
