Location was great for us. Five minute walk to subway 20 minutes via “2” or “3” train to Times Square. East Village accessible from same subway station via 8 minute train ride. Easy access to Brooklyn as well.
We had a good stay. We loved the kitchen and living room. Kitchen is legit for longer term stays. Full size fridge, cook range-top, drawer style dishwasher, and microwave.
Bathroom was good. Drains are slow. We were able to get by without reporting, though I did see that prior guests had raised the issue and it had not been addressed or had recurred.
Customer service was quick and professional when we asked for more towels.
It can be noisy in Financial District during the so we brought earplugs and while there was construction noise weekday mornings we were not terribly impacted.
Value for dollar drives our five star rating. Unit was well decorated and comfortable with plenty of closet space. I would book for a long term stay as a single traveller or couple with two younger kids willing to share a sleeper sofa.
