This place is real, just like in the pictures. Comfortable and quiet despite being a block away from Union Square. Plenty of light and enough room for a lonely traveller or two (in case the two are a couple, of course). Comfy bed, proper heating, beautiful windows, functional kitchenette. Dan's music collection is quite a treat (that is, if you're into classical, golden age jazz and latin music).

And Dan is a great guy. We had a coffee and a long chat in a cofeeshop down the block after I've checked in. I'd like to meet him the next time I'm NY. And I'll definitely book another stay in his 'Sweet Union Square Gramercy Studio' too.
