Esef was a fantastic host and his Nolita apartment was the perfect place for us to stay on a short 5-day trip to New York. It was incredibly well-designed, cozy and clean. We were there on a sunny weekend, so we got to enjoy the private patio a few times- an absolute vacation gem in the middle of New York! We also really appreciated having air conditioning, given the late summer humidity on some days.
One note to visitors, this is a first floor walkup, so it's pretty convenient to get to; however, there will naturally be some street noise. If you're a lighter sleeper, bring ear plugs! (Though this is true for any place in NY close to street level).
All in all, this was a wonderful place to stay and Esef is a friendly, prompt, and highly communicating host. I highly recommend booking, if you can!
