MaElena is a generous host in every way: welcoming, communicative, accommodating, respectful of privacy, and terrific company. The living space is charming and large enough by Manhattan standards, with a book collection and a cat named Lulu to die for -- and breakfast to boot! The neighborhood is safe and clean; the nearest subway is a 10-15 minute walk, likewise any real selection of restaurants. All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and look forward to the next time! Cheers to you, MaElena
