This is a great place to stay in Manhatan for a great price. It has all needed amenities that you won't find at a hotel room. There are also markets close by as well as a wholefoods. It can get noisy at night as it is located on a busy street but still good location as it is close to the train. I went with my husband so I had no problem walking late at night from the train and the studio is in a safe locked building. Joshua was very accomodating and shared a lot of good tips and local places to see and go eat. He made us feel very welcomed to his place. We would definitely go back!
