Catalina took us in on short notice when our other host cancelled. She held our luggage until we could check in as well. Her place was wonderful, with many unexpected touches, such as infra-red heat in the bathroom, a jetted tub, a pleasant outdoor space, a very well stocked kitchen, and separate temperature controls for each of the bedrooms. And of course, the elevator! It was fun. The beds were comfy. The house is well located in a non-touristy neighborhood, and the building was very quiet. It is within 100 metres of a grocery store and a short walk to SoHo and the shopping district. I would highly recommend the place.
