Near the junction of Little Italy and Chinatown, up 3 flights of stairs, is a special little place with blue floors, yellow chairs, piles of books on consciousness and art, and a wonderful woman named Flo. One can feel the good vibes upon entering this cozy and clean apartment, where the bed is comfy and the pillows are sumptuous. I felt that hanging around this slice of art and history was a little vacation in and of itself. There is no a/c but there is a powerful ion floor fan in your room, which to me is better than a/c. You walk out the front door and you're in Little Italy, near the subway. There is a warm and happy energy about the place. Flo is intelligent and kind; laid back and funky. And super hospitable. She sleeps on the sofa in the adjacent room, separated by curtains, and her presence was so quiet and discreet… She made me feel like this was my apartment and I just loved this little breath of fresh air!
