Véroniques place is a great place to explore the Lower East Side, Chinatown and Little Italy by foot. There are lots of nice placesto eat nearby and public transport is easily accessible, so you can get anywhere with no problems.
The place itself is nice and cozy. It is very small, but Véronique really made the most of the space she has. The room is quiet, I slept very well there. It is a bunk bed, so you have more room to store your stuff on the floor.
The apartment is on the 5th floor and the stairs are narrow and quite steep, so if you have a very heavy suit case (like I did), carrying that upstairs (and downstairs) is no fun. But you only do it once, so it is ok.
Véronique is a great host, who has very good tips as to where to eat and what to see. She is also very accomodating and generous and a great nurse, who cared for my worn out feet and provided me with band aids and ointment. I can recommend staying at her place, it is just as described.
