Samuel's place was in a clean, well-maintained building and was a nicely renovated apartment. The location is in Chinatown and convenient to all that lower Manhattan has to offer. It is also almost directly beneath the Manhattan Bridge . The sound of the trains passing overhead is pretty loud and constant. We had ear plugs with us, which helped some. The couch is fine for kids but does not fit an adult. Samuel was responsive, and the price was right.
