My Girlfriend and I spend 10 days in Elisa’s apartment doing Christmas 2013 (10.-20. December) It is a very nice place to stay if you are a budget and if your NYC plans is about sightseeing and going out. The room is very small, but it doesn’t matter, if you only need a place to sleep and store your baggage. The apartment is very close to the subway (6), with easy can take you downtown/uptown.
Elisa and her roommate, Amir, are so sweet and don’t complain about anything 
I highly recommend Elisa’s room to anyone (single or couple) who is going to NYC for 7-10 days 
