My girlfriend and I enjoyed the staying in Eleonora's place.
We've been there alone since Eleonora was on a trip.
The neighborhood is very quiet a peaceful, 24hs markets close by and a great(!) restaurant right behind the corner - Lobster joint is very recommended.
It's a little bit far from the subway station (5-10) minutes walk - we had to do it couple of times while it was raining, and it's a 20 minutes ride to the central park \ 5th ave. etc.
Eleonora is very nice and kind, we met her only in the door on our way out of NY but we got talk a bit and share experiences..
