Amazing location and a fantastic, responsive host. You're within walking distance to all the best spots in lower Manhattan, and super close to train stations. The immediate neighborhoods (SoHo, East Village, LES) are exciting and vibrant with great restaurants, clothing stores, bars, and clubs. The condo is huge - I had a roommate and stayed in the larger bedroom which worked perfectly for privacy since it contained a desk and a bathroom. The doormen are helpful and kind, and the gym contains all the essentials and is usually empty. Bowery is an exciting street but keep in mind it's a major road, so there will be some noise. That's the price you pay for being in the heart of everything. All in all it exceeded my expectations and I would definitely recommend this condo to anyone looking for a true Manhattan experience!
