Lillian is a lovely host, very friendly, welcoming, and very accommodating. The apt is in a very nice part of town, very easy walk from 2 Subway lines. The street is quiet so night noise is minimal. Her sofa was pretty comfortable and I know that it was my space for whenever I needed it. One needs to be comfortable with people in a small space and be minimalist in nature as there was not much room for more than one suitcase although I’m sure Lillian could have performed magic and found space for more luggage. One must also feel comfortable with dogs. Hers is sweet, quiet, calm and stayed away from me unless I wanted to pet him. He did not get on my sofa. This was the perfect place for a woman traveling alone. Lillian made sure I knew what areas were safe for me to explore in the city. We had good conversation at the end of the day. Very comfortable place in a great location for a short stay. Definitely would stay there again and recommend this as a great place to stay.
