It is definately one of the best Airbnb experiences I've ever had: I live in NYC and needed a place to stay in between apartments, MaElena welcomed me with great hospitality and asked me to see her as an 'aunt I did not know I had' and I really felt that way during my entire 20 days' stay. She would cook at home and always invite me when I am around, will never forget the good conversation we had over dinner and the good bottle of wine we shared ;)
Not to mention the most adorable cat Lulu: I was not a cat person and just absolutely fell in love with this adorable cutie and honestly felt so sad leaving her at the end.
Would recommend for anyone who wants an authentic NYC experience with a knowlegable local to give you advice or anyone living in NYC that need a temporary place to stay, I am sure you will have magical experience at MaElana's.
