Elvira provided me with most gracious accommodations, and friendly and helpful conversation in her very warm and comfortable apartment. I slept well and worked well in a very cozy and well appointed bedroom, and we shared the "communal" spaces with ease. Communicating with Elvira was an immediate and clear, and she was most accommodating when my bus was late, causing me to arrive at the apartment later than I had expected. I can't say enough good things about my stay; will definitely seek Elvira out via Airbnb again on future trips to New York City.
