My partner and I had a wonderful stay at Lia's place. She was very welcoming upon our arrival and wonderfully accommodating throughout our stay. The apartment was lovely and exactly as advertised on the Airbnb site. The cats were great. They were not intrusive and posed no problems whatsoever. The apartment is located in a nice part of Bedford Stuyvesant on Malcolm X Boulevard and within 10 minutes walking distance to Bushwick. There is a ramen shop directly across the street with delicious food and a coffee shop right next door with a good selection. Organic grocery and restaurant options are within a 5-minute walking distance. Once we were settled, Lia gave my partner and I a brief history of the neighborhood along with local food and shopping options. She also discussed how she came to settle in the neighborhood as well as expressing interest in our background and what brought us to NYC. Afterwards, we had little interaction with Lia. She was quiet and respectful of our privacy.
