I had an amazing time staying at this place. It was my very first time renting a shared space via Airbnb and Lola made this experience extremely pleasant and easy for me. The room that I had to myself was very cozy, sunny and clean, as well as really quiet for New York standards. Lola was the kindest and most helpful host: She provided lots of tips for exploring the city and was always up for a nice chat over a cup of tea or even a delicious dinner she prepared for me one night. I had a lot of very interesting conversations with her and feel like I have made a new friend within the two weeks I stayed with her. The area is great and very safe: A lot of Manhattan highlights as well as a subway station, supermarkets, and heaps of bars and restaurants are within walking distance. I would highly recommend to stay at this place!
