Jane and Sante are lovely and made us feel very welcome, providing helpful info about the neighbourhood (and some scones!), but also left us alone to do our thing. I agree with all the previous comments in that the studio is clean, comfortable and cozy and the neighbourhood is great (and quiet for NYC!!). The only minor point is that being a basement studio you are aware of people living above and moving around, however, given that you are probably out and about all day, it's not that much of a problem. I would definitely recommend for the price. Thanks Jane and Sante for having us stay!
