Lisa is a great and very kind host: we got a very pleasant welcome when we arrived from the airport and all the useful information we needed. The appartment is beautiful (with air conditioning) and cosy, on the second floor walk-up, located in a quiet street with nice trees in a safe neighbourhood. A lot of good restaurants around. The metro to go downtown is 2 blocks away (3-5 minutes walking), the bus is even closer. So very convenient. I can thoroughly recommand Lisa's place and will come back, that's sure, when in NYC!
