My girlfriend and I spent a great week in New York City for vacations. This was my gf's first trip to the city and having stayed with Elisa was a great experience for her and left her a good impression, as well as for me. Elisa was very welcoming, nice and accomodating and our privacy was guaranteed at all times.

We rarely saw Amir, her housemate, but he was very nice and polite in the few occasions we would encounter him. And Mylo... Oh! God! we will miss him! he was very adorable (add to fact that we love cats ;))

We stayed in a very comfortable bedroom with A/C. (Good one! considering the summer in NYC).

At first, I was unsure about the neighborhood, but then, we saw it first hand and realized it is a nice area, even when my gf and I would arrive at the apartment at midnight every single night. There are nice restaurants around the neighborhood as well as pharmacies, laundromats and grocery stores.

For transportation, you get the 4,5 and 6 green line at the east corner of the apartment and it takes you to Midtown, Downtown and Brooklyn, so we never had trouble getting to Times Square and other tourist places.

I highly recommend Elisa for your staying in NYC.
