I have recently stayed at LiLian's place and I had an excellent stay. The apartment is located at a good area with subway, whole foods market, pharmacy, excellent jazz club and coffee around the corner. The check had no issues at all. And Lilian is a very kind and understanding host. The place is as advertised. Very good conditions. Good bed, good restrooms microwave. All the stuff you would need for a quick stay.
The only that bothered me a littjle that has nothing to do with the host is the that the street can become noisy during the night due to loud music and people on the street.
