Elena's place is amazing. It is definitely the place to stay while in New York. First it is exceptionally clean! Everything that you need is there. She provides clear directions to make the stay seamless.
The bed is super comfortable, the bathroom and kitchen are clean and well stocked. I so appreciated the little touches, like flowers, tissues, plugs for any device you may have, two sets of keys, lots of closet and drawer space, dispensers in the shower. The building is clean and the people I met coming and going are friendly. The location is great. Within walking distance to lots of stores, restaurants. And a short drive into Harlem.
I travel fairly often and stay at a lot of places. I can say that Elena's place is by far one of the best I have stayed at. I hope it is available on my next trip to New York!!
