We enjoyed the spacious comfort of this apartment, the great photos and drawer full of DVDs. The location is great for exploring Soho, Nolita and the East Village. Claudia's recommendations for local restaurants was helpful and rewarding. I would add Public on Elizabeth, Cata on Bowery and Stanton and Torrisi Italian specialties on Mulberry for great pizzas and pasta. Don't miss a good look at the RH wall as you walk up Spring - there are visual treasures. The Bowery is noisy. It didn't worry us. All good.
