We really enjoyed Marc's Lower East Side apartment! It was close to three subway stations (that we knew of anyway), taxis, and suitable walking distance to Chinatown and Little Italy. It is also within a stone's throw to great bars, restaurants, and boutique clothing shops. However, the "old" New York is still ever present as well with family owned shops dotted throughout. It is also within walking distance to Katz's Delicatessen, a New York institution!
The only draw backs were lack of places to hang clothes, and we could have used extra towels. Other than that, it met our expectations, and we would definitely stay there again.
