Lisa's apartment was located at the heart of the Manhattan. You could reach to different subway lines by 10-minute walking distance. There were supermarkets and 24-hr restaurants nearby, such as Subway, one block away from the apartment. The room was clean. You could use well-equipped kitchen, a personal small refrigerator, and clean bathroom during your stays. Lisa was a nice and friendly person and was fluent in both English and Mandarin Chinese. She gave us privacy during our stays. We feel like living at home. On the other hand, Lisa shared with us the travelling tips in NYC. We enjoyed chatting with Lisa. Overall, the experience of living in Lisa's house was fantastic.
But two points you might need to know.
1. The bedroom's door can be closed but cannot be locked. Lisa's a trusted person and therefore that's not a big concern.
2. The sound-proofing is weak in this historical apartment. You need to stay quiet in order to not to disturb the neighbors at night.
