Location is fantastic: This newly renovated, very clean, one bedroom apt is in Little Italy, on the border with soho and china town. East and West side subway lines are a few blocks walk away, so its very easy to get to museums etc, and the local scene is fun. Ivy has lived in NYC for many years, and can give you tips on where to eat, local life etc.

The apartment is huge by NYC standards, with a large kitchen area; a full size fridge/freezer; sparking clean bathroom; wifi and cable; and a living/dining area with a sleeper sofa (which we did not use). At the rear is a separate bedroom, which is very quiet. The hosts do not live here, so the apt is not cluttered with personal possessions, but its well furnished with a large dining table, couches and chairs, and some books.

Access is very easy with electronic locks and personalized codes, so no need to go through the usual hookup with host to get keys on arrival. Email communication with host easy and fast. This is our 3rd time in NYC using Air BNB and this is the nicest apartment so far. Highly recommended.
