Cute cozy and tidy studio. The place is easily accessible to the JZM lines- although you need to walk an extra stop to Marcy on weekends, and has plenty around it within a short walking distance. The bed couch thing was very comfortable and the use of a computer with internet as well as wifi was a bonus. It was clean and had most of what you needed. I would recommend for the solo traveller. Anastasia was overseas while I was there but still managed to respond to a question which was great and her assistant was also friendly and there to meet me quite early which was nice. In terms of the noise well yes the garage opposite was quite lively and the window doesn't block anything out. It was more the lively chatter (yelling) of the guys that work there that was the noisy part rather than mechanical noises. The bathroom was good and a great shower.
