Very comfortable and cozy. The first day I arrived to NYC Shivaul helped me buy a Sim card and a Metro card, showed me the station and how to get there. The studio is in a safe area, well equipped, hot water at all time, snacks are available. Shivaul is very available and helping, yet gives you total privacy. I was travelling alone and felt safe at all time. The apartment is close to the J and the A train which practically gets you almost anywhere in Manhattan. The extra treat was that he gave me a free Broadway ticket to see Charlie and the chocolate factory!! all in all Very recommended.
