Elle’s place was perfectly as described and great value. It is compact but very cozy, super clean and a great shower in the bathroom. I have a bad back so not all mattresses work for me, but the bed was really comfortable and I slept like a log every night. If you are sensitive to sound outside (the odd pigeon), then ear plugs would be an idea.
Check-in was a breeze, even though Elle was not there in person. Location, as many people have mentioned in other reviews, is ideal and in the heart of Soho, 2 mins from the Subway. Elle was sitting two dogs when I stayed, so it was great to make two additional four-legged friends during my stay!
For me, what makes a great AirBnB is not just the place itself, it’s also the people you meet. Elle is a very warm and generous host, flexible on looking after bags after check-out, always on hand for questions or suggestions and we had some great conversations. I highly recommend and would definitely stay again next time I'm in New York.
