RECOMMENDED!!
We stayed at Elisa's apartment with my wife for a week and we would definitely go back!
PROS:
- Elisa. Amazing host, Elisa has a set of documents and videos prepared to guide you through your arrival, stay and departure. I've never been on a hotel with a service even close to this attention to detail. We didn't get the chance to meet her but still she was available via phone all the time.
- The apartment. Very nice bedroom, good natural light, AC working perfectly, comfortable bed. The living room is small but very beautifully decorated and with lots of sunlight. And the kitchen is very comfortable. The bathroom is nice and clean, and the shower works great.
- The Metro. It's a 150 ft walk to the subway station, and from there is easy to get to anywhere (and we used it a lot). Trains are very frequent.
- The price. Excellent price/quality ratio in our opinion.
SMALL CONS:
- The Stairs. It's clearly stated on the publication that the apartment is on the 6th floor and there is no elevator. Climbing up the stairs was a little annoying at some point, but nothing we didn't know in advance.
- One bathroom. It's a 3 bedroom apartment, so at some point you could have 5 people living there, and at that point the bathroom gets a little busy. Not a big deal, just have to be organized with your timing.
And finally, about the neighborhood, we think it's OK. We came back home at multiple hours on multiple days and we felt safe. Also, there are lots of security cameras in the area. Having said that, NYC is a big metropolis so like in any other city you need to be careful and pay attention.
Overall, an excellent place to stay considering the price and what you get for it.
