We had a great time at Eleonora's place. It was spacious and provided privacy as we traveled with a teenager. Having two levels and separate bathrooms greatly enhanced this. The apartment is situated about 1/2 mile between two different subway stations providing easy access everywhere. Finding the walkway access across Pulaski Bridge is a bit tricky however, so you may want to ask a native. There are many excellent restaurants nearby (Eleonora leaves a nice list) and small markets for supplies.
Eleonora was an extremely flexible host as we didn't know how many would be in our party until right before arrival. We met her on our next to last day and she couldn't have been nicer, cooking us all breakfast cheerfully! She did leave us with fresh cookies, candy, wine and offers to use freely whatever was in fridge or cabinets; very nice! We also greatly appreciated use of umbrellas (3) during two downpours. Her pug is adorable and friendly too!
One bit of advice, there are no closets or drawers. I do like to unpack and luckily had two hangers to load a few things on. There are huge hinges on the doors and this worked well to hang from. Next time I will pack a few more hangers and use packing cubes to organize better. If you live out of your suitcase, no problem!
Overall a very, nice base to visit from and Uber was always 4-minutes or so away as an option.
