Isabelle was in touch a week prior to check-in and was also very responsive to questions posed right after I booked the studio. She left us a welcome note, candy and breakfast food - which was a nice touch! Isabelle was helpful in letting us check-out on time yet leave our luggage at the studio for a couple hours before we had to leave to catch a flight home.

The description and pictures of the studio are spot on - and it is even nicer than it looks when seen in person! It is cozy, yet spacious (especially for two people). The bathroom is gorgeous and Isabelle has it stocked with what you need.

The neighborhood is very unique - in artsy Chelsea. It is right near the action, yet tucked away on a quiet street. The Port Authority and Penn Station are walking distance away (about 15-20 min) and several Metro line stations are just a few blocks away. We found it was walking distance to Times Square area, down to the Financial District and to the water in south Manhattan - although we enjoy walking.

Great central location in Manhattan to explore the city and visit local universities.
