Let me begin by explaining why I couldn't give this rental 5 stars. The first thing is that it says that there's a washer and dryer. I found out after getting there that although laundry units are available, they are located downstairs and are not in the unit. My issue with this is that I didn't have a few hours to do laundry as I was visiting friends and family constantly and would have taken time from my already packed schedule. The second thing was that the hair dryer was missing and the iron was tiny. It was about 1/4 to 1/3 of the size of a regular one. For some people these things may not be of too much concern but I thought were worth mentioning.
Now, the good stuff... THE UNIT IS BEAUTIFUL and the location is superb. Cafes, restaurants and subway stations within walking distance (1-5 blocks). From there, Palermo Soho is also about 10 blocks away and PACKED with restaurants and bars. Take a cab or walk if you go there as parking is a nightmare if available at all.
