Lou’s place is exactly as shown in the pictures and very spacious for a New York Apartment. It’s rather quiet since it faces into a little courtyard and has everything you could want in a short term rental. Like a few other reviews have mentioned it’s a bit dark, but this was a non-issue for us since we were out all day. The AC worked great and although the shower seems a little sensitive, once we figured out how to adjust the temperature we had no issues. The location is great, close to multiple subway lines, lots of restaurants and Madison Square Park, where we spent a lot of time. My boyfriend and I felt safe in this neighbourhood no matter the time of day.
Picking up the keys was really easy, Lou was great answering any questions we had throughout our trip and overall I would recommend his place for a young couple or small group of friends that wants to make the most out of exploring New York.
