The apartment was easy to locate and is easily accessible. It's quiet and secure and in a safe area. I arrived in NYC at JFK airport early evening. A taxi cost USD 60 (incl. toll fee and tip) and took around 45 min (1 hour in heavier traffic). the apartment is a walk up (3 flights of stairs). Jennifer was away but her concierge was very welcoming and hospitable. The room is spacious and the bed is comfortable. There isn't much natural light - the window opens to an internal light shaft - but I wasn't there to stay at home - only to sleep and shower! The room has aircon which, in early October when the weather is still warm, made sleeping more comfortable. All amenities are available (kitchen, bathroom, laundry etc.). All I needed was the bed and bathroom. It's a short walk to the subway (10 min) so access to the rest of the city is easy. There are plenty of restaurants and cafes in the immediate vicinity. I've stayed in Queens and in Chelsea on previous visits - this was my first time in the Lower East Side but I loved it and would go back again.
