My Mother and I stayed in Carey's Studio recently and had a really wonderful time! Carey is so sweet and easy to coordinate with. She made us feel comfortable using Airbnb for the first time :) The place is so charming and homey and was very clean and comfortable. The location could not be any better...it is very central to everything and the subway is only a few blocks away. It is 2 blocks from Times Square but you do not hear all of the hustle and bustle! You can actually hear the birds chirping in the morning in the courtyard outside the window. It was a very peaceful retreat after a long day of walking and sightseeing.

The neighborhood is also wonderful! We felt very safe the whole time. Its located right next to Restaurant & Theater Row :) We frequented 5 Napkin Burger (corner of 9th and 45th) which was delicious and went to a few different diners for breakfast: Galaxy Diner (9th & 46th), Westway Diner (9th & 44th) & our favorite; Theater Row Diner (42nd & Dyer)...all were a great start to the day. I also frequented Smiler Deli & Smoothie on the (9th & 45th)...The smoothies are great and they have lots of other groceries you might need. You also have to try the cookies at 'Schmackary's' (9th & 45th). As for entertainment in the neighborhood we tried out 'Don't Tell Mama' Piano Bar which was really fun (46th Btwn 8th & 9th). All of the bartenders are performers and have amazing voices! Swing 46 was great as well...wonderful Jazz bands and swing dancers :)

Overall our trip was amazing and Carey's studio made it that much nicer to recharge for the next day. We will definitely stay with her again! Enjoy~
