Lidia made me feel extremely welcome upon welcoming me into her home. She cooked a dinner for me on the day arrived which was over and above what I expected. Her communication prior to my trip was very good and reassuring as I had never been to New York or used Airbnb before. She was very friendly and helpful in providing me with details of how to get to places in the city. I would definitely consider staying here if I visited NY again and strongly recommend this place and the host.
