Recommend it 100%. I spent 3 weeks in Jan-Feb. Very quiet, warm studio with a separate kitchen and morning light (one extra room is closed). 10-15 mins walking from UN. Bus 8 and 5 very close. 2nd floor (US 3rd floor) NO ELEVATOR, no balcony (as listed). Looks better than the photos - there's a big TV with Netflix, area rug and full body mirror. Large kitchen with everything needed for cooking. Grocery store 2 mins away. In-unit laundry machine. Host is kind and very responsive. Thanks Wilma
