I stayed at Elena's place for 3 nights when in NY for business. It was a last minute trip for me, and she was able to accommodate with 24 hours notice. The location is excellent with nearby restaurants and grocery stores. The neighborhood seemed quite safe. The 24/7 front desk / doorman makes check in and out very convenient. Also, really appreciated having the trash / recycle drop off on the same floor. Made my exit a bit easier.

Elena's listing is very accurate. Make sure you read it carefully so there aren't any surprises. As she states, her place is personally styled (and quite unique), and there isn't any closet space for guests. It worked well for me, as there is a rather large dresser in the bedroom. I was able to layout my clothes on top of that. Again, worked very well and was what I was expecting.

Elena was out of the country when I stayed at her place, but she still managed very quick responses to a few questions I had before arrival, and during my stay.

Bottom line: I'd stay there again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend to a friend!
