Yes you should believe the hype and amazing reviews about this place. I had such a magical week staying at MaElena’s, I wish it could have been longer! Lulu is the NICEST cat I have ever met, she only wants cuddles and never bites or scratches (unlike my cat) but the real star of the show is MaElena. She makes you feel so special and welcome in her place straight away, we were instant friends! In terms of the Airbnb, breakfast is provided (yum!) the house is spotless, the room is quite large and includes a large wardrobe, double bed and desk. The bathroom is great and I felt really welcome in her whole house...also her book collection is truly amazing, it’s hard to see New York when you just want to read her books and cuddle Lulu! All in all this was the best and most fantastic Airbnb experience and I can’t wait to visit again soon!
