Patty's apartment was the perfect base for our adventures in NYC. The apartment is basic but very comfortable, and has lots of charm and character. The apartment is well-heated, the hot water plentiful, the kitchen well-equipped, the wi-fi fast, and outside noise minimal. We slept well in the loft bed, and I enjoyed many morning cups of tea curled up on the big sofa. The location in Chinatown/Lower East Side is amazing - close to the subway, shops, Wholefoods, good coffee, great food. The apartment is very private, but Patty lives close by if you do ever need her help/suggestions, and she always responds quickly. I highly recommend staying at this apartment.
