Kakuna’s cosy basement apartment was really comfortable, clean and ideally located. The fridge was stocked with bread, milk, juice and milk on arrival too! The area was vibrant and full of character yet the street was quiet. Although we didn’t meet Kakuna, she was at the end of the phone when needed and extremely helpful throughout our stay. We can recommend this area and beautiful brownstone studio for travelers looking to stay somewhere local but a little more diverse. Reasonably priced and easy to get the subway everywhere. Thanks for an incredible first trip to NY!
