This studio was a well appointed and comfortable place to stay in an interesting neighborhood. Very close to the subway which took about 1/2 hour to get to central Manhattan. The bed is very comfortable and as others have noted, the shared bathroom is always clean and not a problem. Marylyn provided cereal, milk and water and there were other condiments available too. That was a great bonus! We couldn't work out how to use the fan or the air conditioner and as we were there during some hot weather that would have been helpful. Staying over a weekend meant we encountered some parties in the street but they settled down by midnight so sleeping wasn't compromised much. We (two middle aged women) felt entirely safe coming and going to and from the subway during the day and at night.
