Alex and Ivy were really friendly and prompt in all of their communications, before and throughout my stay. Their place is very spacious, clean, nicely furnished, and modern; the wifi was good, they had tons of dishes, towels, linens--everything for a comfortable stay. It's also hard to beat the location: in the lower east side, it's steps away from Soho, Little Italy, and Chinatown, so there was no shortage of food/cafe options, shops (boutiques as well as larger stores), and subway lines ( the 4 and 6 are literally a block away). There must've been a dozen bakeries and ramen shops within a couple blocks of there.

I stayed here with my wife and toddler, and Alex and Ivy provided a bunch of toys, children's books, and a toddler seat for us too, which were all LIFE SAVERS! There's also a small playground a block away, and then a large park/playground a couple blocks away on Chrystie, both of which we frequented. The only slight difficulty was having to navigate the stairs of the walk-up with a toddler, stroller, and bags in tow, but that wasn't a problem as long as both my wife and I were doing it together.

We had a fantastic time here and would definitely stay at this location again in a heartbeat!
