Pur trip to New York was amazing. I was there with a friend for a week and we wished it would have been longer!
Amir was a great host which started with him picking us up close by the apartment and showing us around and ended with the day we left, when he let us check out late and even helped us with our baggage! Otherwise he gave us privacy and was always contactable via phone.
The studio was nice, a little rugged maybe, but we really enjoyed our stay there. Half of patio deck was under construction but we could walk on the rest of it and sit in the morning sun which was great.
The subway stations are 5-10min walk and you can reach downtown in about 20min I would say. The neighbourhood is ok too.
I'd reccomend the studio and visit again.
