Lakisha's place was very clean and she provided us with towels and toothbrushes and toothpaste which was great. It's a little further away from the city than I'd hoped but New York is just so big I didn't realize how long it would take to get from place to place. There are subways nearby though so it's easy to get into the city but if you are on a short visit trying to see as much as possible I would reccomend staying somewhere closer to Manhattan. Lakisha was excellent to communicate with, she responded to all my messages straight away and was always ready to help with anything. She's a fantastic host.
