This is a studio in the Hamilton Heights section of upper Manhattan, New York. Located on Saint Nicholas Avenue and West 154th Street, the apartment is on the ground floor of a four-story 20th century townhouse.

Literally just around the corner from the building you have a subway station for access to lower Manhattan, and with connection to the A train, you can be in Midtown in 2 stops!

Appointed with modern décor and emitting a youthful vibe, this studio apartment for rent has been renovated and tastefully decorated. The home, consisting of a main living space with open kitchen and private bathroom, is lit up with natural light thanks to its six windows. These windows face the street, but have blinds to provide privacy. The taupe walls are set off by white window sashes and wood flooring. A double-sized platform bed lies nearest one window, facing a flat-screen cable television. To the left of the main door, a desk with chair is available to accommodate workloads. The open kitchen is partitioned by a folding screen and features stainless steel countertops, which can also be used as a dining area.
