Fantastic, comfortable, mostly very quiet AirBnB in a great location.
The unit has a great layout with a big living room with high ceilings and two bedrooms in the back. Perfect size for 1-2 people. The abstract art is tasteful and relaxing.
There are no voices from the street because it's at the back of the building, which is wonderful. When it's quiet, it's really quiet. There are a couple of bad intersections nearby that produce a steady stream of honking at rush hour and weekends, but it's not as bad as you might think. It is muffled, and if you put on some music you won't be able to hear it at all. The absence of street sounds and voices, and the deep silence most of the time when there is no traffic, make it a total oasis.
A lot of places say they have a great location, but this has a REALLY great location that gives you the most amount of options. You are right on the edge of Nolita, LES, Little Italy, and Chinatown. You have access to all of them. The Bowery metro station is around the corner (same block) and several other stations are just a few blocks away. Quick access to Williamsburg on the J, or take a CitiBike across the bridge! There are some homeless people that congregate in the immediate vicinity, but I didn't feel unsafe as long as I was walking straight through.
There are lots and lots of amazing restaurants all around. Nolita and Soho are gorgeous, with cozy streets and high-end restaurants and retail throughout. You can just sit outside of some restaurant and see so much amazing fashion. LES has a grittier, more youthful spirit which is a lot of fun. There isn't a great park very close, just strips of median parks here and there, but you can walk 15 min or so to the East River Park which is something.
If you get the chance, stay here, you'll love it!
