We loved staying in this apartment! The area, near Union Square, is one that we know well and is a perfect vantage point to explore New York from. Elisa was a delight to deal with. She is very personable and extremely helpful. The apartment is charming and was very clean with all the amenities we could have wanted. It was actually one of the highlights of our recent stay in New York because it was such a nice place to hang out in! It is remarkably quiet and is very bright and cheery with its living room skylight. We found the walk up to be totally manageable and Elisa helped us get our luggage both in and out. All in all it was a completely positive experience and we wouldn't hesitate to stay at Elisa's on future trips to New York!
