My husband and I were fortunate enough to stay at Elle's apartment for 8 nights in September and our experience there was wonderful.
The apartment is well appointed with all the luxuries of home - a king-sized bed, AC, Netflix and a tidy kitchen and bathroom. Plus the most lush towels and sheets! The compact apartment is also a beautifully-curated space with gorgeous pieces of art and treasures collected from around the world. We felt immediately at home here.
Elle's apartment is arguably in the best location in the city - it's in walking distance to some of the best restaurants, bars, parks and shopping the country has to offer. Yet, it's located on a quiet street - so you're guaranteed to have a good sleep - the best of both worlds. It's close to the subway and in a perfect location to access all that NYC has to offer. Plus in this neighborhood, unlike some others, we felt we were the only travelers surrounded by New Yorkers - so if you're looking for a real NY experience then I would highly recommend this apartment. You might even spot an A-list celebrity or two in this neighborhood, like we did!
As for Elle, she is the perfect host; attentive and wonderfully generous and made us feel we always had a contact - friend even! - close by that we could call on if we ever had a question or concern. She has really created a beautiful, warm space in the West Village - it was our little oasis in a big bustling city and we could have happily moved in forever!
Thanks again to Elle for helping us to fall in love with NY - we will absolutely be back!
