We are three friends and stayed a week in Gary's apartment on Bowery. A great accommodation in a wonderful area. The place is a great starting point to explore the city. On foot or by bike or by subway. Grocery store just outside the door, subway just around the corner and in the apartment everything perfect to spend a few days in NY. (Yes, it's a little noisy. But hey, we wanted to live in the middle of NY City :) Gary answers every question quickly and gives valuable tips. The check-in was easy and good to handle. All in all very recommendable! 5 stars !!!
