MaElena is a kind, helpful, responsive host and we hope to stay here again on our future visits!
MaElena’s place is a little jewel in the big city. I’ve stayed in several Airbnb locations in the Upper West Side over the past six or seven years and despite enjoying my time in these other locations, this neighborhood and apartment won my heart. Friendly, quiet at night, every convenience within a block or two. Several small markets for a few groceries ( and impressed with the variety of items they were able to stock!) yummy pizza by the slice when we’d get back in the evening at a great value and kind employees. A cozy pub with fantastic local craft brews… try the cider too!! You have two great metro stations within a few blocks. Stations C and B hugging Central Park and the 1 line couple of blocks away on Broadway. Easy to get to all the sites of the city!
You can get your nature escape with hours and hours of walking trails and iconic spots in Central Park on a short walk from the apartment and in the late afternoon head the opposite direction to the Riverside park and a trail that hugs the Hudson River. Beautiful sunsets!
Last but not least, the apartment is clean, stocked with all the kitchen utensils and gadgets one would need for a stay, and with a great sized fridge and oven/ stove. Water heats up very fast for the much needed shower after a full day of site seeing. The living room has a nice couch, and the bed is SUPER comfortable.
I highly recommend this host and apartment!
