Marcel was an amazing host. We enjoyed his artsy and stylish apartment and fabulous neighborhood filled with great restaurants, cafes and amazing history. Walking distance to 10 minute walk to Nolita, Little Italy, SOHO and a few blocks from the Tenement Museum, Katz Deli and an abundance of cool hip restaurants, bars that serve food in the late hours. The apartment had A/C which during the summer was a godsend. Marcel met us at check in a was a wonderful host who communicated quickly when we had questions about checking out. The apartment has an elevator and is above a trendy restaurant that's great for happy hour oysters , but the dj can play music into the wee hours of the night so bring some earplugs if that isn't your thing.
