Hope's place was perfect for my husband and I while we celebrated an extended weekend away for our anniversary. Check in and check out was easy and hassle free. The apartment was clean, although a little dark. But for what we needed, it was perfect. Hope was super thoughtful by leaving clean towels and even some travel sized toiletries in the bathroom for us to use, even though we just used what we brought. I thought the toiletries were a nice touch. The apartment is on the edge of Chinatown in the Lower East Side. It's only a few blocks to the F train where we were able to easily get to everything we wanted to do. Parking is an absolute nightmare. So I recommend taking the bus or other means of public transportation to get to NY if you can. Next time we go we are definitely not driving (We drove up from Baltimore. As a new yorker, I should've known better). Across the street, there was this little dive bar/pizza joint that had amazing pizza and played really good hip hop music. We enjoyed going there for a low key quick bite to eat and to listen to some good music. The pizza is amazing! I highly recommend. Overall, we had a great time in NY, thanks to Hope letting us stay at her place. We look forward to staying there again the next time we head to the city.
