Cozy oasis in a great location!
Thoughtful touches like a selection of teas and an incredibly soft, fluffy robe were comforting during the cold and rainy days that I stayed. Yuko was friendly and pleasant. Staying here felt like visiting the home of a friend.
There is a well-stocked grocery a few doors down if you want to have a few things on hand, and tons of restaurants along 9th Ave if you want to eat out.
The desk and fast Wi-Fi were just what I needed for a couple of Zoom meetings.
Description in the listing is accurate, so yes, pack accordingly - a backpack is much easier to carry up the stairs than a suitcase! The building is from 1910, with all the charms and quirks of a 100+ year old structure. Enjoy the experience of NYC apartment living and imagine the history of the place :)
