My wife and I got to spend a week in Katrina's flat. She made of point of connecting with us before our trip and met us early in the morning upon our arrival. Not a regular visitor to NYC she shared a subway app with us that ended up working out really well. The studio was clean, and thoughtfully appointed, perfect for the two of us. Even though the 163 St. station was closed for repairs, 168th and 157th were close by and we were able to make it downtown and further uptown easily. We also enjoyed the neighborhood as well, but spent most of our time all over the City. Can be noisy in the morning and less so at night. You are in the City so that's to be expected. We would definitely stay here again as we had a ton of fun and loved the place.
