Maia's description of her studio flat is perfectly accurate. It is very cozy, well-located and is really in such a vibrant area of NYC and the last part of Manhattan that hasn't been gentrified - offering a truly unique and authentic experience. The flat is a good sized studio (the pictures make it look smaller than it is) and is well-equipped. Maia was a fantastic host - leaving a bag of wonderful coffee, excellent local recommendations and responding promptly to all of our queries. The flat is great and I recommend it to all. I stayed there with a close friend and it was easy to share the space and it served us well.
