I came to New York to celebrate my children's college graduations. It's been over 3 years since the last time I visited New York, but as a native New Yorker, it was almost as if I had never left. The space is everything that you could hope for in a self-contained one-bedroom and lower Manhattan with all the modern conveniences. Bed is comfortable, everything works, appliances are top rate, and the space is stylish and very clean. I would note that this location is right outside of Soho / Nolita, certainly close enough but it is on a busy commercial street in what most would consider the outskirts of Chinatown.
The host is extremely responsive, very accommodating, and you will not regret staying here unless you need top flight amenities such as elevators and grand entrances. As an artist's loft downtown, it excels and is suitable for having a couple of guests over for drinks and conversation. I would add that it's enough for a couple with one child. It's a very livable space.
I would not hesitate to stay again, in spite of the street noise which is considerable during business hours and which continues intermittently throughout the night.. I'm usually fussy about that, but in a day or two I was pretty much used to it.
Looking forward to returning!
