Elvira is the friendliest host that you could find. She offered a few places and menus for food around the apartment and gave me flyers about what to visit around NY. She also provided me with free cold water and coffee in the mornings. Shampoo and shower gels were available for using in the bathroom, you have a choice of a few. The house is comfortable for a few nights, totally worths for the money and the location is okay, very close to the metro (two different lines). The neighborhood seemed save to me. The dog and the baby were so quiet for the whole 4 days I was there so they won't bother you at all. Thanks Elvira and see you again sometimes.
