We loved our stay at Sweet Studio. Amy's beautifully decorated studio is in a quiet East Harlem neighborhood 2 blocks from a subway line that gets you quickly to downtown and uptown Manhattan. The bed was very comfortable and the use of a washer/dryer was an added plus (although we ended up not needing it). There was complimentary coffee for our use. The bathroom is lovely and the shower is delightful. Amy checked in with us frequently during our visit. We were able to drop off our bags before check-in so we begin exploring the area. Although it was a 3rd floor walk up, it was not an issue for us (in our 60's) but we only had 'carry-on' luggage. Big luggage might be difficult to get up the narrow stairs. We felt very safe with the security system. Amy recommends several restaurants nearby and had NYC guides to borrow for more ideas. If we visit NYC in the future we would DEFINITIVELY consider staying at Amy's again.
