Dorina was a wonderful host and very welcoming. The studio was exactly like what you see in the pictures if not better. It's located in a very quite and clean neighbourhood. My boyfriend and I really enjoyed our stay. The only thing we didn't like was the travel time to get to Manhattan. Also, the subway station is a bit of a walk to get to. But other than that we were every impressed with this basement studio. So much stuff was provided for us (extra linen, fruits, stocked fridge and kitchen)
