I had a lovely stay at Elle's beautiful little studio on Carmine! Although it's in the heart of New York's West Village, inside you feel all light and airy. It's very whimsical and full of art; There's a great selection of books to read and lots on the subject of the city itself. Although it's only one room she has it divided into two so it feels much bigger. Plenty of room to put your clothes away, a comfy sofa, a big table/desk and a tiny but efficient kitchen. I especially loved all the little amenities she had left for me - snacks in the fridge, toiletries, fresh, fluffy towels - even a blow-drier and flat iron! Elle has created quite a magical space, I slept like a baby. I recommend it highly for any person or couple looking for a sweet time in NYC!
