I booked Rose's as a literal last-minute Xmas gift to my mom. The flat is terrific for two or 3 (there is a big bed and a little bed) if people are cool with a small bathroom (we certainly were).
It was spotlessly clean, spartan but subtly stylish, in an excellent location in the E. Village. It's 2-3 blocks from the 2nd Ave subway, SoHo, the LES, and Alphabet City, with excellent bus choices, restaurant choices, bar choices, hip shopping choices, and even a laundrette (for longer stays). Bodegas, vintage shops, and coffeehouses abound.
I've stayed in the neighborhood many times, and I find it very safe and convenient.
There are your regular 'amenities'; galley kitchen, fridge, nuker, etc. We didn't use them, but they all were clean and new.
Lastly, it was VERY quiet. It's on the back of the building, facing a "park". And, it's only 2 floors up (I've stayed in many places in NYC over the decades, and even I am a bit tired of 5th floor walk-ups, despite the better views).
Rose is a very charming and attentive host. With one day notice we scored one of the best places I've stayed in in Manhattan. I don't ask for much for sleeping quarters, especially for short stays, but Rose delivered a cool comfy pad for 3 days of fun in NYC. And, come on, Mavis Staples' debut on vinyl? Awesome!
