Kimberly's home is an incredible value for those that want the feeling of living in the city without the high price tag that accompanies it. It's fairly convenient if you're a fan of Chinatown and Little Italy like we are.
As mentioned, staying there was like living in Manhattan, complete with the good and the bad. It's on the 5th floor of a walk up, so be prepared to climb some stairs, but the only time we struggled with this was moving in and out with our giant suitcase. Overnight it was somewhat loud at times, especially on the weekend nights, but ear plugs help with that.
On the positive side, the apartment is quite spacious compared to many NYC units. The bed was sizable and comfortable. The heat was good, even though it was quite cold outside. The bathroom had ample space, the water was hot and cold as needed, and everything was nice and functional.
Kimberly has good taste, so the place was comfortable and clean. The neighborhood felt safe and wasn't far from great food, coffee, and transportation. In fact, it's only a 15-20 min Lyft to get to La Guardia, so that was a bonus when checking out. It's close to the D Train, which will get you most places north and south so getting around the city was pretty easy.
If you want to feel like you're living in the city on a fairly tight budget, this place cannot be beat. We would gladly stay there again! Thanks Kimberly!
