MaElena told me, “feel right at home” and that’s exactly how I felt. She was gracious, warm and very generous with her home. I felt like I was staying with family. I enjoyed chatting with MaElena, but she also gave me a lot of space and privacy. The apartment is located one flight up in a great area only one block from Morningside Park and two blocks from Central Park, walking distance to Columbia University, the Cathedral of St. John the Divine and the 1, B and C trains. There are very nice restaurants in the area, one of my favorites was Marlowe Bistro only a block away. There is a great bathtub and you really feel like the bathroom is all yours. The apartment is very clean and cozy with a living room filled with wonderful books. The breakfast was a very special treat, french press coffee, fresh fruit, muffins and cereals makes it feel like you are staying in a real B&B! Thank you again for everything!
