About the host - Ellen is one of THE best Airbnb hosts I've had the pleasure of staying with. Right from the check in to our final communication before I left, Ellen was pleasant, thoughtful, and helped us with everything. She is a great person to chat with and is friendly and supportive. She actually bought me granola to go with my yogurt for breakfast when she heard that I had an egg allergy and so had very limited options for breakfast. She also lent me earphones when I lost my pair. Seriously, you don't have to think twice before booking this airbnb for a warm place to stay in during your trip.
About the apartment - The room is exactly as described, the apartment is cute and comfy and comes with an adorable pet cat. Ellen keeps the place very neat and you are allowed to come and go as you please. She also has a great collection posters and books around so the place feels very warm and fuzzy.
The only grouse for some tourists may be that it's a little uptown, but that didn't bother us at all as we used the subway religiously.
Overall, great place 5/5 will stay here again If I'm in the area! Thank you for being such a great host Ellen. You made our trip enjoyable.
