I stayed at Carolyn's for five days and was very comfortable there (though most of the time I was out and about). By New York standards, it's a large studio. The bed is super comfortable, the kitchen is well stocked, the coffee table books actually were interesting and everything worked. I'm a bicyclist (there's a great bike rental shop nearby) and she was open to letting me keep the bike in the apartment. The elevators were great for that, and I never had to wait more than a minute for one to arrive.
