Ellen’s apartment was wonderful - I could not have found a better place to stay in New York. It has a very homely feel. The bed is extremely comfortable and the bedroom is very spacious. The kitchen is also well-supplied with most common kitchen utensils present. The apartment does not feel too cramped either, and is very tastefully decorated. Ellen was a great host and easy to communicate with. It is relatively close to two subway lines, the 96th street 1/2/3 and B/C which makes going downtown easy. I would certainly recommend it.
