I really enjoyed my stay! Lola made me feel very welcome and comfortable from the very beginning and we had great conversations throughout my stay! She advised me on what places to visit as well as how to get around the city as it was my first time in NYC. The place looks exactly like the pictures. The room and the house were clean. Sheets and a towels were provided and she made sure everything was in order before I checked in. The area, whilst relatively quiet compared to other areas of Manhattan, had a lot of places to eat nearby and definitely felt very safe. It was within walking distance to 3 subways stops and its location made it easy to visit all areas of Manhattan fast. It was also within walking distance of some places of interest, such as Union square, the Flatiron building and Greenwich Village (amongst others). I would definitely recommend Lola's place to future visitors!
