You must consider staying in Matthew's place. He goes above and beyond to make sure you have a great stay. The location is the best if you are working or training in the city as I was. If you are a performer visiting NY for auditions at Pearl Studios or Ripley Grier, Matthew's place is just a 15 min walk to the studios. As a woman traveling alone I felt extremely safe and Matthew was extremely respectful. I will definitely look to book Matthew's place again when I come to NY in the future.
