Location: Short walk from house to subway station where you can take the NW train to Manhattan. 15-20 minutes from house to Times Square in Manhattan. Neighborhood is quiet and safe; I took the subway and walked to Lilia's place between 11pm to 2am many times during my stay and I did not encounter issues like rowdy people, beggars on the streets, etc. You have all you need in the neighborhood - there are plenty of restaurants in the area, 24-hour grocery by the block, laundromat, atm, etc. you will even pass by these commercial establishments on your walk from/to Lilia's house/subway station.
House: Very clean. It's spacious unlike most New York apartments. Lilia's place is very cozy and very comfortable. And there's an elevator. The bedroom, bath, kitchen, everything's perfect.
Host: Lilia is by far the best and nicest host I've ever encountered in all my travels. She responds fast and was very accommodating with my questions/requests. She made me breakfast and coffee and I really enjoyed my conversations with her. She is very open and gives recommendations but not intrusive. She cares about her guests.
Overall: My experience with Lilia, in her place and neighborhood, is perfect. This is seriously one of the best accommodations I've had in all my years of travel experience. I highly recommend that you book Lilia's place when looking for accommodation in New York.
