This is truly a little gem in the heart of the lower east side. The neighborhood is very active and full of places to eat, and there's a nice little multi-use park just down the road. The apartment is small, about 250 sq ft, but the space is very well organized and decorated so that it was always comfortable. The orange line subway station is about a ten minute walk. This was our first time staying in the LES area of Manhattan so we were very pleased to have this neat little apartment as our homebase.
