Great stay at Elena & Abdiel's place - and really great hosts with a smooth unattended check in. Nicely updated unit, with a super comfortable bed, and an easy walk to the 1 subway. We stayed for four months, and it was perfectly outfitted for a long stay - including a galley kitchen that had everyting needed to actually cook (we do). My husband is a former professional musician who would spend an hour playing piano in the afternoon - which was a treat.
This location is a total sleeper - the latin roots of the neighborhood adds a nice flair, and has some good+affordable restaurants, and a nice selection of grocery stores, bars and stores.
The easy access to the subway, the Hudson River Parkway and the GW Bridge made any necessary travel simple. Walking/Running along the river is absolutely beautiful and less than a 5 minute walk from the apartment. Could not have been happier.
