Lidia is a fantastic, warm and open hostess who did everything to make me feel comfortable in her house. The place was cosy and very clean. I also felt safe in Sunnyside, even late at night. It's a calm neighborhood. Manhattan is not far away though, and easy reachable with the subway, 7 minutes from Lidia's house. I really recommend staying with her. Lidia is so sweet and kind and caring, more than I ever imagined a hostess could be!
