The apartment was perfectly located for our 4 day stay - being just a few blocks from several subway lines made it easy to get around both Manhattan as well as to and from Brooklyn and Queens. Also enjoyed that the block it's in still felt like the New York I remember from a few years back as the Lower East Side has gentrified quite a bit in the last decade. We had no in person interaction with Jackie but he provided very detailed check-in instructions, responded quickly to messages and made a point of checking in to ensure our stay was smooth and provide recommendations. While the apartment was shared with other guests, we were never woken up by the sounds of others coming in and out, and with the living room/kitchen space between the two bedrooms there wasn't any problem with the sound of conversation carrying from bedroom to bedroom.
For any other guests who might be driving to/from New York, we were pleasantly surprised to find temporary street parking in front of the apartment so we could carry our bags up easily, but as expected, parking in the neighbourhood for the full stay would have been quite expensive, a quick drive across the Williamsburg bridge and single stop subway ride back meant we were able to save about $20 a day on parking - so I'd recommend taking the time to do that.
I'd gladly stay here again.
