LOCATION! LOCATION! LOCATION! Located in the hip Lower East Side, this place is located next to a lot of great bars, restaurants, drug stores, coffee shops, etc. It was super accessible to the subway to get to other neighborhoods, i.e., 10 minute walk. A bit of city noise outside to wake you in the morning, but that's to be expected when living in the city.
Marina provided lots of towels and toilet paper, which for all of us ladies--we know that is essential. Good pressure on the shower although getting the right temperature was a bit temperamental. The Nespresso was a super great bonus if you need some zing first thing in the morning. We came in December and the apartment was very warm and cozy (but each bedroom has window ACs if you're looking to come in the summer). Marina even provided some umbrellas in case you forget yours. Super spacious with a kitchen, huge living room and two rooms for privacy. Lots of interesting art. The linens and especially the pillows were heavenly!
