We stayed in Chito and Xavier's studio for 4 nights while we explored NYC for the first time and it was everything we needed. Great location and we walked to Central Park from there multiple times. Close to the subway so you can get to everything else. Chito and Xavier could not have been more prompt in their responses to any questions we had. Loved the neighborhood, we got there on a Sunday afternoon and the whole neighborhood was so lively and full of music you would have figured it was a block party. I highly recommend Red Rooster for a nice dinner and drinks, which is just a few minutes walk away.
