Sanctuary NYC Retreats was a welcome respite in the middle of busy Downtown for myself and my son visiting NYC during the holidays, and felt like an awesome home away from home. The Suite is spacious with its own outdoor patio (amazing) twin cot, kitchen, complete with tea, coffee, kettle and everything we needed for a very comfortable two night stay. The cozy studio feels like a nest, close to bodegas, vintage stores, trendy restaurants, cafes, bakeries, and steps from subway and trains; the neighborhood is friendly yet lively, safe, secure, and tucked away on a quiet street. Next visit, we'll take the yoga class and volunteer at its community dinner event. Not a hotel, but a peaceful private place with heart, soul and purpose. 10 out of 10 experience.
