Lidia's house is located in a very pretty residential area. It has a very different atmosphere from Manhattan. There's a few restaurants and grocery stores nearby so it is pretty convenient. The train stop is less than ten minutes walk, so not a bad location. Lidia is a very friendly and welcoming host and really went out of her way to be helpful. Her house is immaculately clean. She even offered fruit and icecream to house guests and sometimes invite us to eat with her. However, all the house guests share one bathroom. So, it does take a while to get a shower or have to wait in line to use the bathroom. That is the one drawback. Overall, it is a comfortable stay!
