Everything about our stay at David and Alessandra's lower east side apartment was wonderful. David was super accommodating and allowed both an early check in (we had a red eye from the west coast) and late check out. The location is highly desirable, right next to the East Broadway subway station, and the les is hoppin'. The apartment was spacious, especially for NYC, w high ceilings and artistically appointed. The essentials were spot on: comfortable bed, excellent water pressure and hot water in the shower, in addition to the wifi there is an ethernet cable if you're running Macbook pro, more than enough kitchen ware (although when in the les, eating out is recommended) and coffee. Communication was stellar and it was a pleasure to meet and have an opportunity to chat w David. Highly recommended. I know we are already making plans to return.
