Sasha's studio apartment is comfortable and quiet yet still central to everything you might need. There were restaurants, convenience stores, drugstores, shopping, even a wonderful, well-stocked supermarket not far away with beautiful produce. Its name is Morton Williams. The men working the front desk were super helpful giving us tips on just about anything we wanted to know about Manhattan. They even memorized our names and greeted us each day by name. While we were there NYC was having a heat wave and the air conditioning was a lifesaver. It's a modest apartment but was sufficient for our needs. Parking on the street was virtually non-existent, but there were numerous parking garages around the neighborhood. Expensive but convenient. We enjoyed our time in Manhattan, and Sasha communicated well with us before our arrival.
