OMG!! Where do I begin?! Lilian, her apartment, her family, location, and value are beyond mere words! The apartment was charming, sparkling clean, roomy, well-appointed in so many ways. My bedroom was roomy, had lots of closet And drawer space. Even a work space and mini fridge. Also, full use of their beautiful kitchen and living spaces. This family is extraordinary and they honor how much personal space you need and/or invite you, if you wish, to be part of their extraordinary family! The children are so respectful and sweet and I never heard a peep in the mornings if they were up before me. I plan many return visits!! Also, 3 min walk to subway, safe community, washer/dryer in the apartment-highly unusual for NYC! And there is an elevator so it is so easy to come and go! I am absolutely in love with this family and Lilian is the perfect host!
