Niya is a very informative, a good communicator who leaves no details unsaid. If you want a true Brooklyn Crown Heights historical architectural neighborhood experience in a tastefully designed furnished apartment, my daughter and I highly recommend it. We felt very comfortable here. The building is a bit patina on the outside but on the inside you will be welcomed into a beautiful oak lined foyer that is a combination of old and modern. The sliding oak doors open into the studio. getting out of the subway may disorient you and seem intimidating, Niya guided us by phone in the right direction. His place is about 4-5 blks to/from the subway (Blue A or C) and +/-20 min to/from Lower Manhattan . Look over the studio and If there's anything of concern address it to Niya, he's responsive and usually on the premises. - DL From San Francisco

The street the studio is on is quiet and beautiful tree lined street. It took us a day to feel comfortable adjusting to the neighborhood, blending in and found that for the most part people are usually friendly if you do your part and say "good morning" or "how you doing today?"
