As someone who lived in NYC for 8 years, I absolutely loved the location of this studio. You can't beat being directly above a great coffee shop and walkable (1-10 mins) to some of the best restaurants/bars in the city. If you're a light sleeper it may not be best since you can hear a lot of the street noise, but Gary provided ear plugs along with other thoughtful things to make your stay comfortable. Gary was super accommodating/communicative - even let us check out late because of our flight times. Overall, I truly recommend if you want to feel like a local in NYC!
