Elisa was very welcoming and great. Her roommate, Amir, was very helpfully and had a lot of information about NYC. It was a great to be there for a week. It was very close to the train. Loved the Mexican Restaurant at the corner and on the opposite side was one of the major subway lines in Manhattan. Laundry was close as well. The apartment gave me a safe feeling. Getting up the stairs was the tricky part.
