Great location if you don't want to be in the middle of Manhattan but still close enough (several Metro stations nearby). Hip and relaxed neighborhood. Great food places around. Masoud is a great host, very kind, always prompt responses, owns the Little Café right underneath the studio (they have great cake!). The studio itself is small but big enough for two. It was tidy and everything we needed was provided. The bathroom is tiny (a bit inconvenient if you're tall) but functional. The only drawback for us: it could have been cleaner (dusty, bathroom). We enjoyed our stay!
