Anita's apartment is a delightful little place in a building with a lot of personality. It makes very good use of its space, and that's without mentioning the huge terrace. There are plenty of succulents and actual art. No motivational quotes or LOVE signs here. The apartment is situated on the third floor of the building where Anita and her husband live, so it's really easy to get in touch of them if necessary. Their instructions and notes were great, so all our conversations were spontaneous chats. You might also encounter some of their surprisingly friendly cats in the stairwell.
The building is close to the G, J, and M lines, so it's fairly easy to go where you need to go. The immediate area is on the quiet and gray side, but there are many things to do if you make it to Grand Street.
I'd definitely recommend a stay here, and I might return for a concert sometime in the future. Ask Rene or Anita to tell you more about their well-isolated studio, or the story of the building!
