MaElena is a wonderful host! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Excellent communication -- quick response, great directions, easy check-in/check-out, excellent tips on where to eat and what to see. Her place is very centrally located -- quick walk to subway, excellent restaurants, and many places in NYC. Room was clean & comfortable and we really appreciated breakfast & coffee. We enjoyed our conversations with MaElena -- and kitty Lulu is charming! We definitely hope to return for future visits.
