We stayed for 9 days and had a great time, largely due to how pleasant and conveniently located the studio was. The place was clearly well cared for, with things laid out in a very professional manner, more like a hotel than a studio. Ozgun was super attentive, as well, fixing a minor issue with the bathroom before I even mentioned it to her. There were even brochures for nearby restaurants neatly arranged in a drawer, which was a great little touch.
The neighbourhood is safe, with streets busy with families and women with strollers for most of the day and most of the night. There are small grocery stores located nearby as well, which were more than enough for our needs, but large supermarkets are at least a bus ride away.
Overall just a great place, regardless if your main focus is Manhattan or other nearby places in New Jersey. I highly recommend it.
