I was traveling with two teenagers and we felt right at home at Ike’s place!! It is very conveniently located near a main Subway line—we were able to avoid using Ubers or taxis for the entire trip, which was awesome! Lots of shops and restaurants nearby, including a Trader Joe’s and Target. And the beautiful Essex Market is right up the road. There was definitely some noise from the regular street commotion, but I’m not a great sleeper in the best conditions, so I was sure to bring my earplugs anyway. Also—there are cotton sheets!!! For those of us who care about these things, that goes a long way! I would definitely stay here again!!
