really nice place to stay, especially to feel like a temporary local in Chinatown/Lower East Side. Subways are a few blocks away (B/D in one direction & F in the other direction), so major midtown sights are about 30 min away. it’s also walkable to Brooklyn Bridge.
what was really helpful about this particular place was that we were arriving in NYC early, and our host was willing to store our luggage for several hours until our room was ready. that was a major help! and same thing when we left...she let us keep our luggage in the room while the room was being prepared for the next guests.
she also willingly offered her expertise to anything we might need. we would consider staying again.
