Lisa and Chris want to welcome you to our East Village abode. ;)
Lisa and Chris love the East Village and have lived in various parts of it for the last couple of years. Our goal is to share our love of this awesome area with you.
Lisa speaks Cantonese (sort of) and Chris is fluent in Russian.
I have two listings:
studio (lisa's little lair) - http://www.airbnb.com/rooms/29272
two bedroom (Chris & lisa's home) - http://www.airbnb.com/rooms/13489
Lisa's apartment is a fantastic base to explore NYC. Set in the heart of the East Village, the apartment is close to the hustle and bustle of St Marks. A short walk to SoHo and the LES, the apartment is also close to the 6, N, R and L subway lines. Lisa's place was tastefully decorated, well equipped, uncluttered and clean. The building itself also appeared to be quite well maintained. Lisa was a perfect host and sent through recommendations of great places to eat etc. She was very easy to... More »
January 2012Lisa's Apt is a lovely place. I small cubicle, but very efficient with everything you need. Besides, it's spotlessly clean - which is a very important thing to me. When you visit New York and you're out all day, you want something cozy and a place you feel comfortable at when you come home exhausted. That's exactly what this place is for! The apt is situated in the East Village, in the middle of a lively but still quiet and personal neighborhood. There are so many faboulus restaurants... More »
All perfect with Lisa, good ubication, close to underground and with a lot of restaurants, good night life. The photos are exactly what you see. Thanks Lisa!
L'appartement est très bien situé dans le lower manhattan. Beaucoup de restaurants et de commerces de toutes sortes à proximité. L'appartement est confortable, mais ne devrait pas accueillir plus de trois personnes.
Great apt in convenient location, cozy, and clean! Host was very easy to contact and responsive. What else do you need?
This was a cute little postage stamp sized apartment that was perfect for a few days in the city. I have a fetish about places being clean that we stay in and Lisa's apt. was perfect.. Little touches like the waterproof mattress pad and a fresh bar of soup mean a lot besides the fact that the apt.as a whole was sparkling clean. The whole apartment is as wide as you see in this picture but in the foreground what you can't see is a round dining table with 3 chairs. Next comes the bedroom... More »
The apartment was incredibly cute, clean, and provided an excellent home away from home in NYC. Although located right in the heart of the East Village, the apartment itself was very quiet. We never heard any of the neighbors. Unlike most New York apartments that have the second bedroom in the living room, this place had two, small separate bedrooms plus a living room. It was cozy and perfect for me, my husband and our baby. Lisa was the consummate host! She responded immediately to all... More »
Our stay at Lisa's place was amazing! From check in to check out, everything went smoothly. Her place was cozy and had everything we needed, from appliances to toiletries. The location was great as their were many restaurants and grocery stores. It was located close to shopping areas such as broadway, and also close to Chinatown. Hitching a cab on the corner of 7th street and 2nd avenue was a breeze. Overall, Lisa's place is great and definitely would stay again at her apartment.
Great location and a wonderful cozy apartment for a couple. Clean and did not have any problem during our stay. If you're looking for a room that is clean, tidy and practical, this is the one!!
The apartment was great! Good location and everything was in order and available. Apartment is as described and shown on pictures, cozy but perfect. We stayed with 3 people in total, so two shared a bed plus one had bed to himself. Lisa also provided an extra air mattress (which wasn't necessary in our case) and came by to bring extra towels. Also, Lisa provides guests with extensive information about the area (and entire Manhattan) w.r.t. restaurants, bars, shopping, etc etc - that was... More »
Great apartment, we had a perfect stay! Pros : - Location! 5 min from the subway and really close to restaurants, Soho, Geenwich village... - Size was great for a couple with a table, sofa etc... Cons : - No view, as it's a basement apartment, there is light trough the windows but the curtains have to stay closed. - No toaster or stove Overall it was a really nice place and would recommend it.
Lisa's apartment was great for my daughter and me. We spent 3 days looking at art schools. Two were within walking distance, so we got great feel for the neighborhood. We were both very pleased with our choice!
Lisa's place is just right if you're looking to stay in a great neighborhood. Perfect location - everything you need is within a short walking distance. Subways are close as well. The apartment was very quiet (even though the neighborhood is lively), and in a nice building. Beds are comfy, kitchen is cozy. WiFi is excellent. Lisa left us a folder with a list of restaurants, coffee houses, things to do in the neighborhood - very helpful. Highly recommended! I'd stay there again in a... More »
Lisa's apartment was in a great location, with many fun bars and lovely restaurants near by. We were really shocked by how easy it was to get to central locations. The apartment was clean and tidy, with plenty of room to move around, definitely a place for a couple and not much more. Lisa was also very helpful before our trip and accommodating with every query we had whilst we were there. I would recommend staying at Lisa's apartment!
Thanks to Lisa for this great apartment. It is like on the photos, very calm and well located to walk all around Manhattan Lisa is a great host with quick answer for any questions Perfect for our first trip to New-York
Lisa's flat was absolutely perfect for my stay in New York. Really cozy, clean and with lots of lovely little touches like toiletries in the bathroom that we were free to use. The location is amazing, close to countless buzzing restaurants and bars, and not far from the subway. The flat was also great value for money, as it has two decently-sized bedrooms. Lisa was very quick at responding to emails, left lots of recommendations for restaurants, and was generally very relaxed and... More »
great apartment, amazing location and lisa is the best host ever. Always there when we needed her. Don't hesitate and go for it, also so many great people in her building. We made a lot of friends.
Lisa was great at communicating and always responded promptly to our requests. The apartment is in a great area and the best of the city is only blocks away. Very quiet inside. Almost surprisingly so for a garden level. At this price, I wonder why anyone stays at the hotels in boring midtown. Would stay again.
Lisa's place was perfect for us to explore the city.
Great apartment in the heart of the East Village. Communication was easy with Lisa and check in/out was very straightforward. We had a great stay for our first trip to NYC!
Great cosy apartment in a great location. Lisa was extremely helpful and also contactable.
I had family in town and I couldnt accomodate everyone at my place. I found Lisa's place, which is a few blocks away for my brothers to stay at. They loved it. Said it was really clean and the beds were very comfortable. Was a perfect spot for us and what we needed. Lisa was very responsive and thorough. Would definitely recommend this apt and tenant. Thanks!
Great place, great location. Two bedrooms in New York is just great, and we really liked the neighborhood. Busy, but not too busy. It's between three bars, but we didn't hear any noise at all. Host was nice enough to provide us with all kinds of tips to find the best food and things to do around.
Nous avons passé un très bon séjour. L'appartement est identique aux photos et à la description de Lisa. L'appartement étant un peu en dessous du niveau de la rue , la plupart des fenêtres donnent sur des murs et une donne directement sur le trottoir. Les rideaux sont en permanence fermés (comme sur la photo). Malgré celà l'appartement est très calme, ce qui nous a permis de nous reposer après de longues journées. Nous n'avons pas rencontré Lisa mais elle a toujours été disponible pour... More »
I'd like to preference my review by saying that I have never used Airbnb before and I don't think it's really my thing. First, the good: To begin with, Lisa was very helpful and communicative before and in organizing our arrival and those things went very smoothly. She was going to be out of town so she arranged for someone to meet us and it worked perfectly. The best part about our stay at Lisa's place was the location -- so close to the subway, great restaurants, shopping and... More »
Lisa was great, and her apartment was perfectly situated to enjoy the east village. Funky boutiques. Subways, cafes, restaurants and peaceful parks all only steps away. It was the perfect retreat to get away from the hustle after a hard days sightseeing. The apartment was well stocked, and had super comfy beds and sofa. Lisa even provided many useful kitchen items like olive oil, and also toiletries and very detailed recommendations for food etc. Overall I'd recommend.
The apartment was very clean and really convenient to the subways. Tons of bars/little cafes around the corner from this location so that was a major plus. My allergies flared up when I opened the window, assuming it was because the window is at ground/street level. That didn't stop me from having a good time, though! Lisa was a great host. Thanks again, Lisa.
The best thing about this apartment is the location-- right in the middle of the East Village, steps away from great food and drink! It was also very nice to find an apartment that actually has two separate bedrooms for this price. The place is very clean, and completely void of the usual personal clutter you find in other apartments. Lisa is the BEST host you can ask for-- very accommodating, responsive, and friendly. We had a couple of minor issues very early in our stay, and Lisa responded... More »
This place is nothing less than AWESOME. Perfect location to get that hip, cool, urban feel. Everything we needed was no more than a few blocks away. We had other friends that stayed at a different hotel/district and boy were they bummed that they weren't in the thick of it all! This place is happening. Lisa's apartment is quaint, clean, tidy and a great location. She was VERY responsive and helpful during our stay. I love it and will definitely be back for more.
Really enjoyed our stay at Lisa's apartment. The location is great for exploring NY and being so close to subways makes it very easy to get around. The apartment was clean and had everything we needed. Lisa was very helpful and quick to reply to any questions. Would stay here again when next in NY
Every contact with Lisa was very nice, friendly and she answered immediate. I will never forget, when I saw the wonderful neighbourhood and opend the door to her apartment for the very first time. It is quiet, very clean and nice furnished. If you come back after exhausting sightseeingtours, shoppingtrips or clubbingnights you can find some sleep in a cosy bed. The surrounding is amazing too: close to the subway, a supermarket on 2nd avenue, ATM, ice cream shop, little bars and cafés... More »
What an absolutely perfect place for our stay in NYC! My college-aged daughter and I spent a few days touring the city and Lisa made it easy for us. From the time we booked her communication was excellent. She even sent by email tips for transportation and restaurant suggestions for different parts of the city. Her studio was immaculate and very comfortable. Subway just a couple blocks away and her location is perfect for either going uptown or downtown. Would stay there again without... More »
Amazing. Really nice place and an ideal location. Lisa was an fantastic host - told us all the right places to go. Had a great time and would definitely go back.
Great apt in a excellent neighbourhood. Ideal for couples.
The place was super charming, cozy and quiet. Excellent neighbourhood with great places to eat! Would definitely come back!
We had a wonderful stay at Lisa's place. Everything was so easy and we felt at home in an instant. To get the same confort in a hotel you would have to pay double the price. Also, we felt like we would experience a different side of the city, also thanks to the great restaurant/café recommendations that we had gotten from Lisa beforehand. We couldn't recommend this place more highly!
Great place in a great neighborhood!
We had a great time at Lisa´s apt. It´s small but very well decorated, clean and very near Astor´s Place subway so getting around was easy. I would recommend it specially for young couples.
The host canceled my reservation the day before arrival.
We enjoyed our stay at lisa's beautiful appartement. The appartement is situated in East village near st marks where you can find a lot of good place to eat. The area is beautiful and quiet. The metro is just 2 block away, and the Washington square park is not far.
LOOOOVED the apartment. It's decorated great and is in a terrific location. We just walked outside and there were a bunch of places to choose to go eat and grocery/convenience store nearby if you needed anything quick. Union Sq is close as well as Soho, St Marks, Little Italy... all around excellent area to stay in. We even walked to the East River and Meatpacking district was only about $6 cab ride away. Picking up the keys at the cafe next door was very convenient. Also, the bed was very... More »
Such a cute little appartment. Clean, comfortable and great for a young couple. You won't find a better area to stay in! Fruit Markets, food, cafes and shopping at your doorstep with some fantastic architecture. Highly recommended.
The flat was perfect for two, we stayed with my sister and we enjoyed the location and the decoration! Chris and Lisa were available for everything and the advice they let us for visiting NY were very usefull!! Thanks a lot!
Very clean and central studio, nice and bright even though basement flat. I didn't meet my hostess in person but she was very communicative for key pickup and had an info sheet in the apt with helpful information. Had some wireless issues - not sure if my computer or the system - but just plugged in cable directly and worked fine. Would recommend for individual or couple visiting Manhattan.
the apartment is very clean and nice! I suggest it to everyone wants to spend some days in NCY!Great location!
super cute! great location! true to pics. and very clean. The key exchange was easy and Lisa was very helpful. This will now be my go to spot whenever I'm in town!
Lisa is an excellent host! Getting the keys was super easy, the apt. was just as described, location was perfect and really could not have been a better situation for our trip to NYC. Thanks Lisa!
This was my first time using airbnb, and the experience was great. The apartment is in a great location - lots of good restaurants and coffee shops within walking distance. Easy access to the subway. The apartment was very clean, and pleasant to stay in!
Lovely flat, perfect location! I highly recommend this place.
The apartment is nice and clean. The location is perfect. Recommended.
Very easy to deal with Lisa. Great location!
Very clean apartment, conveniently located. Lisa couldn't have been more helpful or kind.
Perfect location close to subway with lots of great restaurants, shops, etc. Apartment is exactly as pictured; clean, spacious and cute. Lisa was very helpful in communicating when trying to fix it, but we were not able to get internet access at all which was a necessity for this working trip to NYC.
Perfect East village location. Exceptionally clean. Lower ground floot apt hence not that much light but so thoughtfully decorated it doesn't matter. Very responsive host. Net net: def. recommend staying here.
Lisa is a very friendly lady! We had a good conversation the first night I checked in, and she made sure that I have what I need. The location is just so convenient to everything, from good food to transportation. I highly recommend this place.
Lisas appt was all perfect and me and my girlfriend were glad to have tried airbnb. The appt was just as shown on the pictures, clean, nicely furnished, picking up the key was very convenient, and lisa/chris were really friendly. The location is truly amazing and everything is closely located. Very recommendable!!
Lisa was extremely hospitable and my whole stay was amazing! From the moment I got into the city, Lisa had the exchange of the keys set up as convenient for me as possible. The studio is so cute and clean! It looks exactly as the pictures portray. I will definitely stay at the studio again! Thanks, Lisa!!!
Lisa and Chris were welcoming, laid back and friendly. I'd happily stay with them again.
My wife and I had a wonderful time in NYC. We stayed in Lisa's studio apartment in the middle of the East Village a short block from St. Mark's Place. The apartment is clean, comfortable, and well-furnished. It is accurately described in Lisa's notes. We hope to stay there again when in NYC. Lisa and Chris went out of their way to be helpful to us. John Graber
Great apartment with lots of restaurants and bars around the corner. Clean and fairly quiet. Lots of space to sit and relax. Would stay here again when visiting NYC!
Spacious yet cozy apartment; perfect location. Really loved Lisa's restaurant recommendations, would definitely stay here again!
The apartment was simple and very clean. The location was perfect - close to subway(s), buses and loads of restaurants. The neighborhood and NY information Lisa sent and left for us was very helpful. If you like to get out and just walk without feeling that you are in a tourist trap - this is the place. Missed having a TV - even a small one would help keep up with the news. Lisa was a pleasure to work with - thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would stay with Lisa again.
The stay at Lisa's was great, very clean and comfortable and close to everything. Lisa and Chris are excellent hosts. Highly recommend the stay!
Loved it!!!!!! It was everything that was in the description and more. The apartment is clean, the bed is super comfy and it is stylish to boot. Lisa and Chris are the perfect hosts, provided all the details for the neighborhood prior to your arrival. I will stay there next time I am in New York.
Lisa and Chris were the perfect hosts - although I never got to meet Lisa during our stay, she was really helpful from the moment I made the booking. The apartment was awesome, perfect for two people with a good size bathroom and lots of mirrors! It was perfectly located in a cool spot of the east village and easy walking distance and subway ride away to places further afield. Lisa had sent through a list of recommended places to shop and eat which was brilliant. Also checked out Keisey's for... More »
Very comfortable stay. Good hosts in a good neighborhood. I would stay again for sure!
Lisa's place is a steal when it comes to visiting NYC! Thank goodness for not having to deal with $$$$ hotels in Manhattan. I took my Chinese never-have-been-to-NYC-prior to parents to Lisa's cozy abode and were perfectly happy. We even left inspired on how to decorate a small apartment. Thanks!
My boyfriend and me had a great stay at Lisa´s cosy, clean and quiet place (except in the morning, when the neighbours had their showers) but no noise from the city, very comfy and the neighbourhood is great, everthing is easy to reach.we would come back!
What a great experience! The location of Lisa's studio was perfect. The studio was clean and the ammenities that Lisa left for us to "use if we needed" were much appreciated. We also appreciated the restaurant suggestions that Lisa left including Paprika's and Pommes Frites! We definitely ate well on our trip!! Lisa was great to work with and very accomodating. Thank you for such a great experience and we hope to one day return.
Great place in the heart of the East Village. Clean, comfy, with everything you could need. Lisa ensured everything was completely hassle-free.
that was great! Lisa and Chris are very nice people, and their flat is in an ideal location, they also left me a lot of information on the neighbourhood, so nice. the bedroom is very good, comfortable, and quiet... what more can you ask?
Nice, quiet apt. Decorated nicely so you feel at home. Great neighborhood. Lisa is incredibly attentive and helpful.
The location is fantastic - we loved staying in the East Village. It was my husbands first time to New York - I'd been there the year before and stayed closer to Times Square. This was a far better location in order to experience New York as a native, not a tourist. We walked everywhere and caught the subway easily from this location. The apartment is perfect for 1 or 2 people and is surrounded by wonderful restaurants and shops. Lisa was very friendly and easy going and very accessible if we... More »
Lisa's apartment worked great for us. It was clean and comfortable. Even though it is a basement apartment it had a lot of windows and was bright enough. The location is great if you plan on doing some shopping at some unique stores or if you like to eat at some fun spots. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is that I couldn't get the key to work. But Lisa was available to help out within a few minutes.
Lisa, thank you so very much!!!Your studio is wonderful , super clean, extremely comfortable, the location really convenient. We enjoyed our stay and we will definitely come back for our next trip!
A great location but maybe because we usually stay in bigger places we found it a bit small. Lots of nice touches to make the place pleasant. It was however a bit noisy because of an air-conditioner on day and night in the building next door. Although we never met her Lisa was really helpful and it was really easy to get the keys, etc.
Great locatıon wıth easy access to the subway and a mulıtude of great eatıng places. The apartment ıs compact but just fıne for us as we were out and about ın the bıg A.
I really enjoyed sharing their apartment/home. They both went out of their way to make me feel comfortable. During my stay they upgraded my bed from a sofa bed to a queen size air mattress, which was devine :) I can recommend the apartment for its location, security, very quiet, great hosts ... I would definitely stay there again if the opportunity arose. Thanks guys Maria :)
Lisa and Chris were AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They were extremely helpful and assisted me with anything I needed. I will def come back to their Beautiful Studio. Great Location, bars, clubs, shopping blocks away from everything!!!! LISA YOU ROCK!!!!!!!!!!! Take Care Juvie
Hello, This was my first Air B n B. And a perfect way to start. The location of the East Village was suggested by a few as the place to be. And after 10 days in NYC I would have to agree, best bars, food, and walking to most places. The apartment itself is great, everything you could need and enough space for 2 blokes on separate beds, nice and clean. And Chris was a great host, very friendly, helpful and took care of us like friends. Look forward to coming back to NYC, see you soon!
Hello, This was our first airbnb. It was a perfect way to start. The location of the East Village was great. We`ve felt very well in our honeymoon and we have to agree, that this area has best bars, food, and walking to most places. The appartment itself is beautiful and romantic. There is everything you could need and enough space for 2. Lisa was a great host, very friendly, helpful and took care of us like friends. She was very quick if we had any wish (radio). We look forward to coming... More »
Lisa is very welcoming and friendly -- a great host! Her place is clean and you get your own room with A/C. The towels are soft, the noise is minimal, and she's right in the heart of a great neighborhood. She has a list of things to do and see around the East Village, as well as the rest of lower Manhattan and she's quick with recommendations. She even texted me "play by play" directions from Grand Central to her apartment. The only "miss" is that the futon mattress pad has seen better... More »
Lisa was a fantastic hostess. Her place is in a great location with an easy walk to restaurants, grocery stores, bars, and multiple subway stations. Chris was out of the country traveling so it was just the two of us in the apartment and often times I would wake up after Lisa had left for work.. The place really felt like home; everything about staying here was simple and comforting. While the room was small it was very clean and even came with its own air conditioner (god-send in... More »
Lisa and Chris were fabulous. Great experience from the get go. Lisa was very quick to respond and very organized. They were both warm and welcoming. The place was a great location, clean, very nice touches of design, and comfortable. I would definitely recommend and go back.
Lisa and Chris are amazing hosts - I consider myself extremely fortunate to have been their guest. They have a beautiful apartment in the heart of east village; it's very nicely furnished, and equally clean/tidy. The room I stayed in was nice and cool (it was an extremely warm few days in the city while I was there) and I had more than enough space for everything I brought. What was most memorable about my stay though was the little things that they did to make my time in the city as... More »
Lisa's place was the perfect for my son and I. We stayed 10 days and everything was really a breeze, the place looks like in the pictures clean and comfy. Lisa is super nice - really great about brining clean towels and anything you might need. She was a great host - even watching the movie UP with Pierre while I got a little me-time at the Nail Salon. She knows a lot about the East Village neighborhood and took us to her favorite Thai place where I had the most delicious Pad Thai! She's... More »
Staying at Lisa was the best choice I have made in my trip . The place is nice and clean and the location was less than 5 mins walking to the subway and in lively neighborhood . Lisa and Cris were really nice people , friendly and treat you with welcome and respect . I do recommend you to stay at Lisa , and if I come back to NY , I will stay st their place ..
Lisa was a great host. Her place was really clean, cute, and comfortable! Location was excellent as well.
Lisa is great. Really flexible with arrangements and she has a lovely apartment. Comfortable, clean and great location. We really enjoyed our time there and we can really recommend it to anyone who'd like to stay in such a cool part of the city.
Lisa and Chris couldn't have been better hosts! Although we had much different schedules and hardly saw each other, the time that I did see them they were so courteous and friendly. It was like we were already friends! I kind of want to keep the best kept secret spot in NYC to myself! But Lisa and Chris are way too cool and more people deserve to experience there hospitality! Not to mention they live in a great location!
The "airbnb" is continuing to change my life while hectically traveling, and Lisa and Chris are the loveliest couple hosts one can ever meet. They are extremely helpful when needed, but also considerate to provide freedom. East Village is unbeatable location in NYC, full of cafés and restaurants, 5 min away from all major metro stations. I could work, hang around, come late, wake up early, sleep as much, and totally enjoyed my "home" in NY. I cannot but simply thank from my heart..
Lisa was wonderful to work with! She was very hospitable and friendly and helped us out with whatever we needed. I got the room on short notice, and she was so accommodating to our requests. The place was quaint and cute, and she provided us with fresh towels and linens and yummy Brazilian coffee! The only issue we had was a gnat problem right outside the front door, but it had been rainy and the room was in the basement of the building, so it was understandable. I would absolutely rent... More »
Fantastic. Lisa and Chris could not have been more hospitable. A lovely little apartment in the most amazing area of New York. The apartment is very small but I never once felt 'in the way' I was made to feel completely welcome and Lisa took me out on my first night and showed me around the area and gave me loads of hints and insider info on where to go and what to see. Ideal if you're a female travelling on your own, I felt completely safe in the East Village and there's no shortage of... More »
Lisa was an excellent host -- stocked the fridge with snacks of my choosing and met me right on time. The apartment is in an amazing location, in the heart of the East Village. The apt was very clean and comfortable. Lisa -- it would be great if you had a small table w/ a chair, as the couch is the only place to sit. But that's my only complaint! Best place I've stayed on Airbnb so far.
Awesome place. Lisa is a lovely woman. I would recommend staying with her! She opens her home and makes sure you have a good time as she is full of suggestions and tips on NYC. The place was very clean and comfortable. Great location, close to subway and lots to do in the neighbourhood.
This place was awesome. Perfect location, and the place is private and quiet. The place was clean and nicely furnished. Lisa was extremely accomodating. For example, she brought over an ironing board in 5 minutes after I asked if she had one.
Lisa was a perfect host, even leaving some breakfast things for us in the fridge. The place was brand new and she was still furnishing it when we were there. But it was very clean and comfortable and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The apartment is very quiet and the East Village location is terrific. We would definitely stay here again!
lisa and chris are great! would definitely recommend staying with them...
I arrived late friday night and left early saturday morning, so i barely had a chance to meet lisa and chris, but they were very accommodating, my bed was comfortable and if you are looking for a quiet space in the east village i would highly recommend it
Lisa was a great host, very accommodating and welcoming! The place is clean, comfortable and in an excellent location. Would highly recommend to anyone!
Stayed with my sister over a weekend. Lisa and Chris made every effort to make our stay memorable. If you don't have solid plans, they even make great suggestions that will fill up your day (and night). I would definitely stay again when I go back to the city.
Lisa and Chris are superb hosts. I always felt welcome and relaxed and they catered graciously to my coffee and breakfast needs. Their place is clean and comfortable and the bedroom was nice and quiet. The location is fantastic. Very good people!
Stayed with my daughter. Lisa and Chris were very accommodating. The space is small, but quaint and very clean. Great neighborhood close to subway, lots of bars, cafes and great restaurants. Would recommend to any single traveler.
Lisa and Chris are so welcoming. I am really glad I was able to stay with them and learn a locals view of New York. They were really helpful in suggesting how to get about and where to go. The room is lovely, and I slept the soundest since being in the US. Their home is clean and comfortable, although small. It is very centrally located. I would stay again whenever I'm back in the US.
Just back and missing Lisa's and Chris's hospitality already. They are both very accommodating and thoughtful. I felt comfortable in the apartment and slept quite well on the futon bed. The apartment was cozy and clean, and the location easy to navigate from. The subway stops are quite close by.
I had an enjoyable stay at Lisa's place. I'd highly recommend her place to everyone.
My stay, whilst only brief, was made an absolute pleasure by both Lisa and Chris. The ground floor apartment conveniently located in East Village Manhattan is clean, well fitted and oozes of that home feeling all us travellers miss. The space is cosy, but feels as if you 'do' actually have your own space. However, it is the quality of both Chris and Lisa that make the stay all the much better. Hospitable, willing to help at any opportunity, or just simple willing to involve you in their... More »
Lisa and Chris'appartment is very well located, and quiet, and welcoming. No big flights of stairs, which is a bonus. Chris was there ( Lisa was away) and he was a pleasure to be around. I felt at home. The space might not be quite enough for two people with luggage, but as an independent woman traveller I felt very much at ease.
Chris and his family were great guests! Chris is very friendly and easy to communicate with. They took great care of our place and surprised our daughter w a gift she loves! It was a very pleasant experience, I have only good things to say and definitively recommend Chris. And I can only assume that he is just as great as a host. Great meeting you Chris!
May 2011Great!
May 2010Lisa's place is great!
Lisa is a welcoming person and has beautiful energy. She is generous and very friendly. Her place is clean, quiet, comfortable and well equiped. I spent 8 days at her place and felt like home. The location is perfect and the neighborood has infitine choice of restaurants, stores, organic food supplies, wine and other bars. Up to now this is the best place i stayed.
