Other things to note

- Luggage storage is not available, as we do not have a secure, designated area for guests' personal belongings.
-As you might be able to see from the photos there are big windows in the apartment so it gets very bright and sunny when it’s nice out so please bring a sleeping mask if you are sensitive to light (like me!). We do have curtains but it still doesn’t get pitch black.
- This studio is in an apartment building with other tenants in the other apartments so please be respectfully quiet.
- If you are looking for a completely noiseless place this studio might not be a good fit for you. As mentioned, this is an apartment building where not all tenants are respectfully quiet all the times and is NYC where the streets can get very noisy at times.
-This studio apartment is spacious for NYC standards but not really so spacious for many other places in the world!
-There’s only one open room with the bedroom area, kitchenette and dining area.
- The apartment is on the 3rd floor of a WALK-UP building, so there’s no elevator and there are 3 floors up of stairs.
- This is an apartment building in NYC where other tenants also live here and there’s sometimes noise on the street or ambulances/police cars or loud music. As New Yorkers ourselves we find this neighborhood to be a very quiet one but still it’s NYC!
-We only have window A/C units between May-September and central heating set at 72 degrees the rest of the months.
- This is a 200 hundred years old house and you can tell. Our hardwood floors creak. Guess is part of the charm?!
-We try our best to provide you with anything you might need but if there’s something additional you need please feel free to reach out. Again, we really want you to have the best time here!
