Dorina's Studio was great! Clean, and clearly well looked after. The shower was perfect, and I was able to find the right temperature immediately! The surrounding area was incredibly safe and I had no worries walking around at any time of day/night. The subway from Metropolitan Village means you can be in Midtown Manhattan in 30 minutes (or 45 late at night). There also a couple of buses that run nearby that can take you around to other areas!

Dorina was an amazing host! She was away when I arrived, so she hid the keys. She sent me a message to check I'd got into the apartment and if everything was okay. When she did return home the following day, she sent me a message to let me know! I only met Dorina briefly, but she was very friendly.

To sum it up, I would definitely recommend staying in Dorina's studio. I know for sure that I'll likely be back in the future if the place is available!
