We have been to NYC many times but we have never stayed in an AirBnB. We knew that we wanted to stay in a place that was close to Little Italy, Chinatown and the Lower East Side. Stephen’s place was excellent!!!! We drove and parked right on the street near the building. We actually used the car several times and had no issue parking whenever we got back. The subway is two blocks away and very user friendly. You can hop on the F Line and go straight to Coney Island!!! There is an awesome market on the corner and we did cook in a few times!!! The tiny kitchen is stocked with everything that you need! There’s a wine store across the street...and several bars nearby. There are restaurants immediately across the street and around every corner. If you walk two blocks down...you are right in the heart of Little Italy. Chinatown is two more blocks away!! You are within walking distance of several famous pizza places including Lombardi’s and Spring St. There is high end shopping nearby if that’s your thing! My hubby even got a tattoo two blocks up from the apartment!! We think it’s a great location!! It was very hot and we really only needed to use one air conditioning even though Stephen does have two. We absolutely loved staying here and would go back again. There was no noise from the other apartments and we only ran into one other tenant the entire time we were there. Now if you have a problem with steps. This is not for you. If you are used to staying in the PLAZA or RITZ...this is not for you. It’s a typical older NYC apartment with a few quirks. If you want to live like a local...truly experience NYC...and wonder around a great neighborhood...THIS IS FOR YOU!! Give it a try and see!!!
