Oksana has check-in/out down to a science and her place is eclectic and cozy, just as described. It's clean and decorated with plenty of personal charm, the shower is great, the bed is comfy, there's AC if needed, and during my few nights stay during the week I never heard any noise from neighbors so I got plenty of sleep. Definitely a good spot and great value for a single traveler or a couple used to intimate spaces (it is a studio after all).
The neighborhood has plenty of night life to check out as well as lots of little green spaces for quieter meditation if that's more your thing. Tompkins Square Park is probably the nicest it's been in about twenty years and a great place to lie on the grass with a book if you don't feel like schlepping to Central Park. Of course if you do want to get out of the neighborhood, the L train is close, plus there's a crosstown bus at the end of the block if an 8 minute walk to the subway seems just too much (but then I'd have to ask what you're doing in New York any way?) so there's no excuse not to get out there and see whatever you want.
