Lydia's place was perfect for my visit to visit family. I used to live in the city and knew the neighborhood well. With that said, it's a cool neighborhood with plenty of food and bar options and easy access into Manhattan via the subway. The apartment itself was comfortable and was accurately described. The outdoor deck is a rare find for NYC and is a great place to start the day with a cup of coffee or to chill and read a book. I would absolutely recommend the apartment and look forward to coming back on future visits.
