Excellent position close to subway 5 minutes walk, safe, surrounded by great shopping, food & music. Friendly and very helpful host Amir, showed us around the local neighborhood when we arrived about 8pm. Able to smoke on the patio and as the weather was perfect the outdoor area was very much appreciated. Anything we needed, Amir responded quickly which was a big help. Would stay with Amir again I loved the fact that there were sidewalk stalls, good restaurants, delis, a laundromat and a supermarket within a block. We had a wonderful time in New York and it was great to come home to a comfortable studio to relax. Would highly recommend Amir.
