The apartment is amazingly quiet for the location on Bowery but it is up a significant amount of stairs that might be a problem if you have lots of heavy suitcases. The place is charming, light and large but also full of stuff that is used for their business so it does feel like a mixed home / office space. Its quirky and fun, very comfy and has a stylish and well equipped kitchen. It might be hard to cool in the extreme heat of summer and the bathroom is small, otherwise I would recommend.
