Magda's place is close to Grove St Subway station. I would recommend staying here if you are visiting New York City as the rates are also very reasonable. There is also street parking if you drove. The neighborhood was residential and safe, although there aren't many people during nighttime so it's advisable to to take a cab instead of walking from the subway stop.
There is an incredible amount of minimalism, although the rooms are relatively small, they are very functional. The kitchen and general area is also great.
Magda is very responsive and she has made the check in process very easy so there are no timing restrictions
I had a wonderful experience as I met a family from Southern France, a couple from central china and a gentleman from Ohio, and we had a marvelous time.
