Stayed 3 weeks. This is a large studio in Noho/Astor Place near Broadway and 8th
One large room plus small kitchenette
Very nice picture window with a view of the city.
Plenty of sunlight,
15th floor so is quiet. It seems very safe due to the doormen.
There is a washer/dryer down the hall and if you read the directions on it and download the App you can pay to do your laundry.
The pool on the roof is for laps and only if you have a pass and book a specific time with the pool attendant. I don’t swim laps so I never found out how to get a pass.
There are two tvs fully equipped with cable, Netflix, etc
The host was very responsible when anything went wrong. When I arrived and found no silverware, no glasses, no frying pan, or cutting board I called him and he ordered them on Amazon. I bought a cup for $3.99 at H and M so I could have a cup of tea. There was no top sheet on the bed and the blanket was scratchy so I bought some sheets. During my 3 weeks I wanted to have some flowers so I bought a vase.
If you rent and want tea bring a cup.’
There was only one plate and one bowl, but I just washed them after every meal. There is no dishwasher so I just got used to hand wash after each use. If there are more than one renter I’d say just bring another dish and bowl.
I loved the ample light from the window. There are blinds, but they don’t block out the light so bring eye shades.
There is ample hot water in the shower.
AC was ample.
Great location 10 min from Greenwich Village.
Subways R and W are30 feet away and the 6 is 2 blocks away at Astor Place. That’s very convenient to get anywhere in NYC
Excellent closet and drawer space
There are terrific markets around the corner and Wholefoods in one subway stop away or a 10 min walk.
Given it’s quiet, safe, sunny, in a great location I’d rent there again in a heartbeat.
