Diana is so nice and friendly and welcoming. Our check in time was later but she allowed us to come by early so we could drop off our things. She is also very responsive. It’s pretty easy to get to Diana’s place from the train station. And at night it’s not a bad walk. We would get back after dark and we felt fine. There’s also some nice places to eat that’s about a 10-15 min walk from Diana’s place. Diana made us feel so welcomed. I would recommend staying with her if you’re in New York.
