Anja was a great host. She was really thoughtful from the beginning to the very end of our trip. She helped us checking in and out of her place. The apartment was just as described, the bedroom was very private and comfortable for any two people that would want to enjoy such stay in New York City. The apartment is conveniently located in Lower East Side that provides easy, walking access to SoHo, Little Italy, and Chinatown. The orange line (B, D, F) trains are less than 5 minute walk away from the apartment and would take you pretty much anywhere in Manhattan in less than 20-30 minutes. We pretty much never saw Anja, she is a working lady that leaves early in the morning and comes back later at night, this might benefit most of the people as the apartment feels as if you own the entire place. However, she is great with communication, and it really feels like she is there with any issues. Building is very secure, and you will find many groceries and supermarkets around the area. This is a great value stay, and have no worries in regards to the cleanliness, comfort, safety and location of this apartment.
