Hey! First things first, TJ is a wonderful host - always helpful and caring! The apartment is really huge by the Manhattan measures. The location is perfect. My friends and I really like to walk, and living in the Middle East Side was a miracle for us - 15 minutes walking distance to Soho, TriBeCa and Broadway, and walking all the way to the Downtown (about 35-40 minutes) across Little Italy and Chinatown is a thrill )! There're lots of really amazing cafés and restaurants in 10 minutes walking distance and closer from the apartment - Saxon & Paroles, Boulton & Watt, Katz Delicatessen just to name a few. And the subway is just one block away! We would definitely stay in TJ's apartment again on our next visit!
