My boyfriend and I spent 3 nights and 4 days at Lilian's appartment during our New York trip and it was a great experience. Her place is located in a Townhouse in Harlem. Harlem is located north of Manhattan. Accommodations in New York are expensive and we still can't believe we could stay at this place for such a fair price. The neighborhood felt safe and it was surprisingly quiet compared to the other streets around the block. The communication with Lilian was quick and smooth. She replied to our requests quickly and she lives downstairs so we could always ask her for help if we needed it. We had quick access to subway stops and buses so we could reach our destinations quickly and easily. Central Park is even just a 20 minute walk from the appartment. Grocery stores and restaurants are just around the corner, she has some recommendations on her listing which were really convenient. The appartment is exactly as it is in the pictures. It is newly renovated and beautifully furnished and, most importantly, clean. We had a little kitchenette equipped with a fridge, coffee maker and microwave. The appartment has air conditioning and has a supply of clean towels and bed sheets. People underestimate how much a decent place to sleep contributes to a great trip. We were always so happy to come home to this beautiful place to relax after a long day. We were very fortunate to be hosted in Lilian's appartment and highly recommend her place. You will rarely find a great deal like this in Manhattan.
