Right on the edge of Lower East Side and Chinatown which are both great areas in their own right - LES for the fun neighborhood bars and restaurants, Chinatown for the amazing foot massages and delicious Asian eateries. This apartment is in a very safe area. It’s a little noisy (horns honking/fire trucks rolling) on Saturday night but nothing a couple drinks couldn’t soothe us to sleep with. Easily fits 3 if you pack normally. Get ready for those 6 flights of stairs. It’s doable if you’re young or in shape. My healthy 57 yr old Mom did great. Close to a few subway lines by a few blocks. Would stay here again on my next trip to NYC in a heartbeat.
