Nigel’s studio was in a central location close to many bars and restaurants. The studio and the building itself was clean and spacious and Nigel provided all of the things necessary to get started (towels, sheets, etc.). The area itself is a little ways out from Manhattan (~25 minutes via Subway), but The surrounding area is amazing by itself. I really enjoyed my time at Prospect Park which is a short walk away and the restaurants nearby provided me a great Caribbean experience. Nigel, more than a host, is a friend. He went above and beyond to make me feel welcomed and helped me with restaurant recommendations and things to do. I would recommend him to anyone visiting NYC.
