Loved my stay with MaElena. The location is fabulous and convenient to metro access, food, Columbia U, etc. I was able to go for a quick morning walk/run to Central Park. Another day I had an extra hour and walked over to the Cathedral Church of St Johns nearby which is lovely. The place is very clean and very tastefully decorated. The bedroom is quiet and so I was able to sleep in after my cross country flight. MaElena is a "hostess with the mostest". Communication was very clear. I had a nice breakfast with cereals, toast, tea, and plenty of fruits. I had keys to be independent, maps to help navigate, she suggested coffee shops and restaurants as my needs required, wifi worked great (as I worked 1/2 day from the room. She was very friendly and we really hit it off becoming friends and unwinding with wine. Will certainly stay here again when I get back to NYC.
