We stayed in Studio Sweet for the first two weeks in June and we were absolutely delighted with our choice. We did a lot of due diligence to find a place that met our strict criteria, which included avoiding exorbitant Midtown rates so we could spend our hard earned money on things other than accommodation. It may seem peculiar, but we also didn't want to stand in a bath tub to have a shower after a busy day of sightseeing, nor did we want a noisy air-conditioner to be immediately above the bed, which are both things that seem to be prevalent in NYC apartments. Amy's apartment delivers on all these fronts. It is also clean, comfortable and tastefully furnished. This was our first NYC experience and we found the area surrounding the apartment to be perfectly safe and very well positioned in respect of proximity to supermarkets etc. In addition, Amy is a genuine, lovely person who endeavours to help her guests have the best possible NYC experience, with the cold beers and snacks on arrival being an immediate indication to us that Amy puts a level of thought into her hosting responsibilities beyond that which you would normally expect from an Airbnb host. What we want to stress the most about Studio Sweet though is that for us, the location was non-comparable. Central Park is only minutes away, as is the Museum Mile and Harlem. If you have the time, the best way to explore NYC is on foot and we enjoyed all the sights the East Side has to offer by using the avenues between First and Fifth as corridors to walk to important landmarks. If time is short, the 110th St subway station is ridiculously close and catching the 6 train is a simple process that will give you access to absolutely everywhere. With our preference for walking though, we often walked to Grand Central Terminal to catch the subway to destinations such as Coney Island. On one occasion we walked to the Staten Island Ferry Terminal and we also walked to The High Line, before walking back to the apartment via Chelsea, Times Square, Midtown and Central Park. An evening in Harlem is an experience and we were comfortable about walking back to the apartment at night after dinner at Red Rooster and a show at the Apollo Theatre. Thank you to Amy and her brother Steven for playing an important part in our dream NYC holiday!
