I had a really nice stay at Ellens. She made me feel like I belonged in her apartment. I would definitely come back for sure.
My room was cozy and just the right size for one person. It had everything I needed, a closet and a bed. I was there for two months. I could use the rest of the apartment space if i felt like it, so the living room and the kitchen area was great.
The neighborhood was good, I had heard a lot of things about East Harlem, and didn't know what to expect, but I liked it there. I never felt unsafe or anything.
I would definitely recommend this room for anyone coming to New York, Ellen was truly the greatest host.
