Had a nice one-night stay at Lina's place for Thanksgiving eve, and it was a pretty good. All the facilities were exactly as described and had no problems at all in check-in with clear instructions from host.
Street parking nearby can be a bit tricky to find, but not impossible - however the apt being right on a main road can be a little noisy (totally understandable, being NYC) sometimes. Also good to know, we came around a little bit of food/cooking smell in apartment - but that's expected in a residential apt and we didn't have any problems with that. On the contrary, it made us feel 'at home' within it.
