I had the pleasure of staying at Elisa's place for one month. If I could summarize my experience in one word, it would be appropriate to use the word PHENOMENAL. Right from the start, she made me feel very welcome. She's a cheerful, kind and respectful person. Her place is exactly how she describes it and provides you with everything you need to know about getting around the city. 103rd Street train station is a 2 minute walk away. The neighborhood is called the Spanish Harlem; it may look sketchy to you at first but in fact, everyone really minds their own business and I haven't had a problem not even once, even during late late parts of the night. There's a bunch of good restaurants around and a supermarket that has pretty much everything with modest prices. Elisa also has the most adorable cat called Milo. He's so friendly and lovable. I'd most definitely recommend staying at Elisa's place. Be respectful and kind and she'll be the best host you could ever ask for. Thank you so much Elisa! Looking forward to staying with you again!
