I stayed at Elisa's place in East Harlem in late March. What a gracious host! Space is small but very cozy! Elisa knows her neighborhood very well and recommended lots of great places to discover. Location is half a block from the subway, local grocer, and restaurants including a FABULOUS cafe called the East Harlem Cafe. As visitor to NYC staying at Elisa's was a wonderful way to explore a new area of the city. Elisa, her cat Milo and her friends were a pleasure to meet! Highly recommend staying here!
