This is a cozy and quiet place right near busy New York City. Thaya is very kind and thoughtful. She is very easy to communicate with (we had lovely conversations) and checked in with me to make certain that all was well. The space is surprisingly quiet given its location - you do not hear the city. A subway station is a block and a half away (F Train, with another station about a 7 min. walk away), as is the Whole Foods Market on Houston. This place is a treasure for a quiet traveler who wants to stay in a peaceful and positive place.
