The location of this appartment is quite good; 7min from the subway Lorimer st and then 10 min to Union Sq. Bedford avenue where all the cool cafés and bars are, is 15min walk.
The appartment is in a nice house (there is a second appartment below but we didn't see anyone). The bathroom and kitchen/living room upstairs are new and modern. The 2 bedrooms are quite big but haven't been renovated yet. The aircon in one of the room let some wind come in. We were lucky that it was not too cold outside. The beds are really confortable and the linens provided very warm, so it was all good.
Ryan is a great host. We didn't meet him but he was available by email and sent us a very detailed info sheet prior our arrival.
It is a good value appartment for New york and could definitely stay there again next time.
