I lived in the neighborhood for many years and now return every summer. It is perfect for us (close to where we spend most of our time.) The restaurants are great and the blue line is right near for easy access to the subway. Jolie was great during check in and allowed us to check our bags early. Also, we stored our bags until 12:00 when we headed to the airport. This was very helpful. The photo is very accurate and the price is very fair. The apartment is clean. It is a 4th floor walk up which we like burning those extra calories. If you cannot climb stairs be aware that there are many. We had an issue with the trash area. There was a locked door and we were never able to get a key to it. I feel confident that Jolie will have this taken care of very soon. Also, this is a New York studio. Make sure you understand what this means! It is perfect for one or two people and you will feel like a true New Yorker. Other than the trash, it is a great place to stay! We do not travel for the tourist sites, but for professional development in dance and choreography. However, if you are interested in the sites this is still a perfect location and easy to get to the most famous New York sites. Happy Travels!
