Lila is an amazing and warm friendly host, as were her kitties and puppy! We loved staying at Lila's place, which was two minutes away from the subway, right next to restaurants and a grocery store, and is close to Manhattan. Lila let us check in a bit earlier and checking in was easy and communication with Lila is great. It was so nice to be able to cook eggs in the morning and have kitties come cuddle in the morning and at night. I recommend staying at Lila's place for any traveler!
