Elle is an Airbnb veteran. She hosted while living in San Francisco, and has continued to host while living in New York. She's quite affable and accommodating.

You should be aware that the room is quite cozy. It fits a queen bed and not much else. Think of it more as high-end hosteling. That being said, it's very convenient to the CE train, which is literally across the street. Both restaurants next door are pretty good, and there's obviously pizza in walking distance because it's New York. If your visit to the city is going to primarily take place near SoHo or you'll be out for long days and just need a place to rest your head, Elle's place is ideal.
