Lisa was an excellent host. The apt was immaculate, the room spacious with a very comfortable bed, individual temperature control and tv. The location was convenient to subway and east river ferry (recommend) in to New York. A new Whole foods is opening around the corner. I was traveling alone and felt very safe in the neighborhood. There are a lot of amazing restaurants and shops within walking distance including Egg for delicious brunch, Blue Bottle coffee, Joes or Grimaldi's Pizza, Fette Sau and the amazing weekend open market Smorgasberg.
