The studio looked exactly as in the photos. It was clean and modern. We had everything we needed there and even more. A little bit noisy from the street and neighbours if they have a party (we were there on thanksgiving) but for us it wasn't a problem and a little bit cold on the day we arrived. Localization was really good for this price - close to subway which makes it super close to Manhattan. The neighbourhood wasn't ideal, after all it's the Bronx. However We didn't feel unsafe although we tried to not come back super late. I would recommend this place :)
