I stayed at Patricia's studio for a week with my sister and mom. We had an absolutely amazing time in NYC and much of it was thanks to the accommodation.

The location is fantastic - close to public transport links to uptown and within walking distance of Soho and Little Italy. The neighborhood is so vibrant, colorful and buzzing - we absolutely fell in love with it! it can be a bit noisy not to the point it would keep you up at night.

Keys pick-up and drop off was seamless and Patricia made for a great host. She answered our questions in very timely manner (including tips on hairdressers :) and made us feel very comfortable.

The studio itself had everything we needed but to be fair - we didn't spend much time there. In any case, all the basics for a comfortable stay are available: plenty of extra blankets, clean sheets and loads of towels, hair dryer, fully equipped kitchenette. the building also felt very safe and it has the great advantage of a lift!

Patricia left a list of recommendations, including the coffee shop downstairs. we had breakfast and coffee there every morning and loved it to bits! A must-try restaurant right around the corner is Bacaro - great food and about 5 min walk.

The only thing I could mildly complain about (and that's only to prove i'm trying to stay objective) is the funky smell of fried garlic that drifted in the studio early in the morning. Then again - I take that as part of Chinatown's charm.

I would absolutely recommend the place to other traveler and would love to have the opportunity to stay there again.
