Just finished a seven day stay at this fantastic apartment. It was meant to only be four days, but then Hurricane Sandy struck and I was stuck in New York. Given the circumstances, Drew, the host, was absolutely fantastic and I can't thank him enough for being so accommodating to me in the situation I was in (alone in Manhattan, with no power!). There's a great coffee shop virtually opposite.

Hurricane's aside, the apartment is still great. It has everything you need, including a fully working kitchen, two double bedrooms, comfortable couch, wifi, big screen tv, dining table, and absolutely fantastic location. It's really close to the subway, and the Lower East Side itself, including the street the apartment's in, is a great place to stay. I'm glad I stayed there rather than in a midtown tourist area. You can also walk to Williamsburg, Brooklyn in about half an hour or less, which is great.

Thoroughly recommended.
