The apartment is in a great location. I enjoyed walking up Orchard Street onto Houston and getting into the city that way; it also felt safer at night than coming to the apartment from the south side. It's a lively neighbourhood in the best way. The apartment felt generous in size to me. You enter into a small hallway with a small bathroom on your right, and then there is a nice living room area with a fridge and TV, and the bedroom at the front of the apartment with two big nice windows overlooking the street. It's a great base for the city and is good value. The plug for the bath didn't fit properly, but that was no problem, I just bought a new plug from the pharmacy down the street. I think Marcell's apartment really exemplifies what Airbnb should be, and I would stay here again happily. The noise from the bar below is noticeable, especially at the weekend, but as other reviews have said, you're in lower Manhattan, what do you expect? It didn't change the quality of my experience and actually made me feel quite safe and at home in the apartment feeling the music below. It's not bad.
