16 years after having moved away from New York, staying here with my two teenage kids for the long weekend let me feel like a New Yorker again.
The apartment itself is perfect and the perfect size. Once you get upstairs, it’s about as quiet as Vermont but much more lively outside your front door.
The apartment being on Allen Street meant easy access to city bike rentals and bike paths that took us all the way to the upper East side and all the way down to the west side of Manhattan.
It’s only three blocks away from the famous LES skate park under the Manhattan Bridge and my son was really happy that he brought his board. My daughter and I enjoyed walking and talking and find a good street food along Orchard Street up to Houston.
It’s an unusual and unique location, perfectly connecting the lower East side, Chinatown, South street seaport and Soho.
The beds were totally comfortable and it was nice to have two TVs with generous streaming options.
Roberta checked in with me a few times over the vacation to make sure everything was going well and I appreciated that.
