We stayed at Ellen's apartment during our first visit to NYC from 13th till 23d of October.
This place was 100% correspondent to what was described on the site.
There were some difficulties in getting there since the train we need to take was canceled that day due to some maintenance, and it turned out to be hard to find the right shuttle bus. But probably we were too tired after the flight. Since afterwards there were no difficulties to get there.
Ellen met us at her place (with an hour delay from the supposed time of our arrival), gave us all the instructions and answered all questions.
Moreover when we checked in we found some complement food and coffee from the host.
The aprts is about 7 min walk from the metro station and an hour to Manhattan center.
Ellen was so kind to let us staying a bit longer at her place on the last day.

All in all, It was our pleasure to live there and we would definitely recommend this place to stay at!
Thank you very much, Ellen!
