Samanta’s place was really nice. Perfect for a city break, super easy to get into central Manhattan and the local town felt so friendly and safe. There was, however a considerable amount of noise both from the hallway (as the apartment is right by the front entrance of the building) and from the permanently locked door which leads to another apartment. Samanta did try her best to limit this by providing earplugs, but definitely something to keep in mind. This being said, we loved our stay and would highly recommend Samanta’s place!
