Unfortunately we didn't get to meet Gina on arrival as she's a very busy girl! However she organised for a friend to meet us instead so we could at least get into the place.
The studio is on the ground level so it's great to get in and out without having to take the stairs. However in the bathroom you could smell cigarettes whenever any body smoked outside. Studio itself was tidy and homey which made living very comfortable.
No Wi-Fi on arrival and no maps of the city made it difficult on our first day of NYC, however Gina was quick to have the Wi-Fi issue rectified by the second day and we managed to grab a city map while downtown.
With 2 subway stations close by it made it convenient. The area itself felt safe and was away from all the hustle and bustle.
Although busy, she still kept in touch via email and made an effort to meet us on the last day, even though it was 7am! She has the most beautiful personality and I really do wish we could have met on day 1!

Overall very happy with our accommodation for a first visit in NYC!
