Loved staying at the Freehand NYC. It's a fantastic location, just a few blocks away from the new Photography Museum - Fotografiska New York (well worth a visit if you are into photography and the visual arts). Close to the Lower East Side, The Flatiron Building, Gramercy Park and Union Square. The Broken Shaker roof top bar is great with some fine views. The staff was friendly without being fawning. We had a Queen room with a very comfortable bed. Only two things kept this from being five stars in my book: there are no coffee or tea makers in the rooms or common areas, and the fridge is only one soda can deep, so there is no room to store leftovers, which for us would have been about half our victual uptake. This adds to your bottom line expenses plus throwing out all that great food. The lack of a decent sized mini fridge was the larger of these deficits. Thanks Freehanders we enjoyed our stay and hats off to our daytime concierge!
