Sausan was a wonderful host who communicated well with me from booking through departure. Her studio was as pictured, clean, comfortable, and bright. The bowl of fresh fruit and vase of fresh flowers added a much-appreciated welcoming touch. The place was quiet by NYC standards, and the location is fantastic, a short walk from SOHO with plenty of restaurants and shops nearby including a huge Whole Foods. A heads up that the entry way and the vestibule aren't nice, but don't let that bother you as the studio is a sanctuary during your visit in NYC. Really enjoyed my stay here and look forward to a return visit!
