I really enjoyed the 100 days I spent at the studio. The place is comfortable and well equipped for long stays. Though it doesn’t get loads of natural light, it has a pleasant view to a leafy courtyard and is the most tranquil and peaceful flat I’ve ever been to in New York. Di was super helpful and responsive throughout my stay.
The location is simply wonderful: close to Central Park and to the Q and 6 lines, in a rather lively corner of the Upper East Side. Go to Frame for great coffee; Breads for delicious baked goods; La Esquina for some truly amazing tacos; Julien for almond croissants; The Penrose for brunch; JG Melon for burgers; and Bagelworks for yummy bagels. I can also warmly recommend the wine shop at the corner of 74th and 1st, and Mission Ceviche for some pricy-ish but great Peruvian fare.
