Chris was a lovely host - very prompt in communication before we got to New York and very welcoming as we arrived off our long flight - even though we turned up an hour early. The studio is in a really quiet, beautiful, tree-lined Harlem street but still close to lots to see and a short walk from central park and the subway. Lots of lovely architectural features inside and out.

The cafe Chris recommended around the corner really does do a fantastic breakfast. We only stayed one night, so eating out was fine. Had we stayed for a longer period the minimal kitchen facilities in the studio might have made things a bit expensive. But for our first ever night in nyc this was a really good place to be.
