Brian was not on location during our stay, but his roommate Lou was. Lou was very kind and helpful, and made sure we were good to go. The room was huge, by NYC standards! The whole apartment was very clean. You also get a workout every day climbing the stairs, so that's a plus! The rooftop is only one floor above, and it's a pretty cool sight at sundown. Smashed right between soho, the LES, and little Italy this place makes for a prime location for anyone who likes food, drinks, and an upbeat atmosphere. Just a couple short steps to the Bowery/Delaney subway station, or the spring/6th. All in all, this was a fantastic experience and I recommend this place over anywhere else I have stayed, including some NYC hotels. Affordable, clean, and location location location.
