So myself and two friends travelled to New York from 26th April - 05th May 2013. We are all 25 and were looking to stay somewhere with great food/nightlife and transport connections. And we found the place on Ludlow st.

First off I should say that the host was very speedy with getting back to emails and was very easy to communicate with throughout the booking. He also didn't mind that we accidentally broke a glass (sorry again).

Secondly the location. I cannot say enough about how good it is. You are smack bang in the middle of the lower east side with great cafes, bars and shops all around you. The people are all very friendly as well. Being the LES there are your fair share of hipsters but not the kind that snub you or are too cool (at least we found).

There is the Delancey/Essex street subway less than 100m and a bank right on the corner. There is also a great gyros/kebab man near the Mcdonalds. He's boss. You can get into town pretty quickly, 15 minute walk to east village and broadway and also a quick cab ride over to Brooklyn if you're there in the night.

The flat itself comfortably fit 3 people and 4 would be the max. I slept in the blow up bed and can say that it is very comfortable and huge. You imagine a small inflatable pool like bed but it is a good two feet high off the ground and is q good queen size. My other two mates shared the main bed and had no issues. There is a nice bathroom and kitchen/fridge for cooking and keeping food. The couch is very comfy and I fell asleep several times on it. Gotta love an L couch. There is a TV if you want to watch anything and also good speakers with a jack so you can play some tunes. Very important. Noise wise I never had any issues and we all found the neighbourhood to be very safe.

All in all this apartment helped to make it one of the best weeks we had all spent over seas and together we've done a fair bit of travelling. I would recommend this place to anyone and would stay here again when in the big apple.

Thanks again to Drew
