We had a great stay at Ali's place. The loft truly is spacious and made the perfect setting for our group to catch up before heading out into the city. Ali was a great host - she was very responsive and the place was immaculate with fresh linens laid out in each room. We did not do any cooking so I can't say much about the kitchen but the newly renovated bathroom is quite refreshing for an NYC apartment. Keep in mind that this apartment is on the Bowery in the heart of Chinatown so the exterior leaves a bit to be desired and there are a lot of stairs to get to the apartment, but once you are inside it is an extremely inviting space. The more time we spent, the more we came to appreciate Ali's design aesthetic. I would definitely recommend this apartment.
