Staying in the Lower East Side of NYC is nostalgic. It is an experience to be had over and over again. Whether visiting the nearby historic Tenement Museum or eating a late-night brunch at the Remedy Café, you are certain to find some really cool things to do!
Christopher's apartment provided me with a cozy stay which helped to contrast the hustle and bustle of energy that is "New York". Although the street outside of the apartment would temporarily get loud at nights, it was nothing that the average person could not get through. Besides, that is part of the NYC experience, hearing the night life and city traffic below.
The apartment has it's charm, as it is a typical three-story walk-up, which surprisingly, did not require any effort at all. Once inside, the noise dissipates, and it very quickly begins to feel "like home". The unit was clean and properly outfitted with just the right amount of towels and linens. The kitchen was serviceable, although it was missing a few simple basic items like, salt, pepper, sugar, and oh yeah... no automatic coffee maker (but who really needs one when visiting NYC, as there are always plenty of vendors on the street that offer some really terrific Joe)?
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay, and I would recommend renting from Christopher in the future. He was helpful upon my arrival and was incredibly responsive to my text messages, as I initially had some questions for him after getting settled in the apartment. One really important thing to point out... Christopher has put together some really helpful guides in regard to "places to eat" and "things to do", as part of his Airbnb listings, so make sure that you check those out. Unfortunately, I did not see those recommendations before reaching out to Christopher to ask him directly via text. (Sorry about that Christopher!) :)
Five out of five stars here. To quote Ben Stiller from his undercover character Maury Dinkle, in the movie Starsky and Hutch, “Don't think about it, just do it."
Enjoy everyone!
