Elle's place is wonderful!
The apartment was clean and beautifully decorated and designed. I loved that there was no sofa, but rather a dining table in the space which was more functional for myself working on the trip. I love the East Village, although I spent a lot of my time in SoHo or West Village, which is a 20-30min walk away.
The apartment had everything which I needed, with great sunlight and heating during this very cold time in NYC! I hope to be back soon :)
