I really appreciated how responsive Natalia was! She messaged the day we arrived and was quick in answering any questions I had. The place was clean and exactly how described. It was a great place to come back and chill after a long day of sightseeing. Although the front door is shared with the upstairs neighbors, we didn't hear them at all-- the studio felt very private and cozy.
It's located a 5 minute walk away from the M & R lines and an 8 minute walk away from the 7 line which was enough to get us all around Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and the airport in between 25 minutes (shortest trip) and an hour (longest trip). But I didn't even mind the longer metro rides as it gave me time to rest my feet and research the places we were heading to.
