Elle is a lovely and communicative host. There were a couple of quirks about the accommodation - it is VERY small, so bear this in mind when booking (if you have large luggage, it may not be suitable). The flat is in a shaftway between tall buildings, so it doesn't get a lot of sunlight. There are frequently pigeons that land on the windowsill (and you may hear the babies cheeping all night), and the windows and A/C unit have a lot of pigeon poop on them! But other than that, it was fit for purpose, a very economical place to stay in a fantastic area - in the heart of Manhattan - and a good fit if you only plan on being in the accommodation in the evening/night.
