We stayed with Luis for a month, and he was a cool and relaxed roommate. He was accommodating and kind enough to let me use his gym membership. I even went to a couple work out classes together with him.

The location is fantastic. His apartment is a block away from the very trendy Nolita Soho. All within a few blocks I found the best pizza, ice cream, juice bar, soba noodles, ramen and vegetarian spots I've had in Manhattan. There's lot's of great bars, restaurants within a few blocks too and plenty of places laundry places.

The apartment was small which is to be expected for Manhattan especially for the price, but like a typical New Yorker, Luis wasn't at the apartment very often, so we had the apartment mostly to ourselves. The bedroom has lots of sunlight from the windows, the living room did not. The AC in the bedrooms are good, though the living room got a bit hot. Granted it was a very hot summer in NYC. The kitchen and bathrooms are basic for Manhattan. If you need a lot of space, you shouldn't be coming to New York!
