Karen's studio was such an amazing home base for our stay in Manhattan. The studio itself is very cosy, quiet, and clean, and it is in a fantastic location. The neighborhood was ideal, with amazing bars, restaurants, cafes, shops, and metro stations all within walking distance. We were able to walk to bars and dinner most nights and it was a short metro ride to anything we wanted to do uptown (museums, Central Park, etc.). As a host, Karen was both highly accommodating and welcoming. She was very communicative, and checking in and out was very easy. Additionally, to anyone staying at the studio Karen offers the mueseum membership cards she has to many of the museums in Manhattan. This meant most of our museums visits were free (The Met, MoMA, etc.) and we got to skip the lines. I highly recommend this studio for anyone's next trip to New York City!
