I only stayed for one night in New York. I didn't meet Lloyd but I met his wife and she is absolutely wonderful. I got there a lot later than expected, in the middle of the night, but she waited for me, took her time to help me out with things I had to do the next morning and even offered me to get up earlier and walk me to the bank.
If you're planning on staying in New York I would recommend their house - they have everything you need.
