If you want a feel for the real NYC, then you've come to the right place! The Lower East Side neighbourhood (LES) has lots of charm and a perfect location to explore the city. Brooklyn bridge, Little Italy, China Town, and Soho are all walking distance. The subway is literally downstairs and you can get to Times Square in less than 20 minutes. I brought my daughter for her half term break, and we felt very safe in the neighbourhood. The apartment is very comfortable and Konstantino was the perfect host. Highly recommended!!!
