Amy's studio was comfortable and provided everything we could have needed--nice hot showers and a comfy bed for us at the end of long days roaming the city. Don't let the 3 flights of stairs scare you! My husband and I are in our late sixties and managed just fine--:) Having the subway just right around the corner was also a big plus; as well as the East Harlem Bottling Co. and a grocery that has everything your little heart would desire within a short walking distance.
