My boyfriend and I spent 5 nights at Niya's studio and found it nice, spacious,clean, warm and comfortable; the bed is large and the set up practical, simple and cosy. Nice shower and toilet, hot water always available, mini fridge, coffee machine, 1 set of towels and, after we requested it, a hair dryer too! The house is located on a residential road 10 minutes away from Nostrand Ave Underground Station, which is well connected both to Manhattan (A Express Line, 15/20min ride) and to JFK ( via Underground AND Train). To tell the truth the area did look a bit dodgy at first impact but once we got used to it we realized that people simply get on with their lives and we never felt in danger. Niya is a great host, a soulful person willing to give you the first practical leads you might need as you arrive to NYC; the Deposit issue was sorted No Problem on leaving, absolutely no bad surprises there! We indeed recommend Niya's studio to easy-going travellers who are willing to witness the big city suburbs and move around.
