The apartment is exactly as described in the listing. It is very conveniently located - around the corner from the 137th Street Metro Station (line 1) and a large supermarket that stays open late. It is also just a block away from the charming Riverside State Park with a trail by the river, large playing fields, a track, basketball courts, a swimming pool and park benches/picnic tables. The proximity of the house to the Metro line makes it a convenient and comfortable base from which to explore the city.

Lovelynn met us at the house even though it was quite late in the day when we arrived. She gave us a tour of the place, and left us with a generously-stocked refrigerator, including bagels, cream cheese and juice. She is a cheerful and welcoming host. She is responsive, and communicates clearly. We encountered a small issue during our stay, which was dealt with promptly.

The umbrellas thoughtfully placed by the front door came in handy!
