I stayed here shortly after the New Year to visit friends and family in New York and work remotely.
MaElena was very welcoming to both me and my dog, and she checked in periodically throughout our stay to ensure everything was going well.
The apartment is located in the Manhattan Valley area, very near the north end of Central Park. It is also walkable to multiple subway stations, local coffee shops and restaurants, and mainstream stores like Target, Whole Foods, Starbucks, and Sephora.
I encountered a few different residents in the building during my stay, and everyone was very friendly.
If you are looking for something affordable yet homier than a hotel, this is a good option for you.
