Staying at Jennifer's is a good and inexpensive way to drop yourself right into the hear of the Lower East Side, a place which is now as dense with restaurants, bars and food shops as it once was with immigrants and tenements. The tenements are still there. As is Katz's Deli, just around the street, home of the best pastrami sandwich.

The room is as advertised--comfortable and small and with a huge TV. The apartment isfunky and lived in and packed with stuff so there's not a lot of place to hang your clothes or put things away if you are on an extended stay. But I very much enjoyed my stay at Jennifer's overall.
