We had a great stay at Jillian and Scott's. They provided us with some good local knowledge of how to get around. I found they were quick to respond and very friendly. Jillian even recommended a great Korean restaurant!
I had second thoughts of walking around in the neighborhood after nightfall but that might just be a Manhattan thing for me. After all, it is a lot of people in a small amount of space.
The studio was bigger than expected. It has everything you need: kitchen with pots, pans, microwave and a fridge. Neatly decorated without being packed. It was quiet in the evening which I appreciated greatly after having spent a whole day in the city.
