The apartment is very conveniently located near countless restaurants, cafes, bodegas and grocery stores. It's a wonderful base for exploring the Lower East Side and beyond. It was very comfortable and well-stocked with amenities. There's nothing better than coming into a warm apartment from the cold and windy conditions outside. As other reviewers have mentioned, the heating system does make some noise but it didn't bother us. Dan and his girlfriend are great hosts. Our thanks to Susan for accommodating our delay in getting to the apartment. My family and I had a very enjoyable stay and I highly recommend Dan's place.
