Lilian's place is described as charming and modern, and it absolutely is! The brownstone has been lovingly restored with great attention to detail. My daughter and I appreciated the sleek furnishings, botanical prints on the walls, Keurig coffee maker, thoughtful selection of books and magazines for bedtime reading, and deep tub for a relaxing bath after a day out in the City. The subway is very accessible, and the neighborhood felt safe. There is a cozy, local coffee shop and an excellent wood-fired pizza restaurant within walking distance. We would highly recommend this place to anyone who appreciates great value without sacrificing style.
