The space was just what we needed...and Olivia and John were very accommodating of my early arrival, as I got in on a red eye and could go there and crash for a few hours. The water pressure in the shower was good...loft bed comfy, kitchenette was adequate for making breakfast. The sofa bed, while new and in good condition has a big crease in it as it is the way it is made, which could be helped by getting a foam piece from Bed Bath and Beyond to fill it in so it would be really comfortable rather than fairly uncomfortable. Also neither the wifi nor the television worked, which was not a big problem, but not as advertised. The outside space was disappointing and not as pictured...there is no table with chairs, but instead a low table in front of an outdoor sofa that is very dirty and ripped. It made the use of the outdoor space, which is one of the draws we wanted, unappealing. But it is in a great neighborhood, close to the Essex subway station with a lot happening around you. There is a bar/restaurant right next door, which made it pretty noisy into the late hours on Friday and Saturday nights...but my ear plugs managed that pretty well. Overall, it was a pleasant stay in a city I love, and when in New York, I never spend much time in a place I am sleeping anyway!
