We had a wonderful 4-night stay at Tony's place. The location on the Lower East Side is ideal - very close to multiple subway lines, a Whole Food market, Russ and Daughters, great coffee shops and restaurants. The bedrooms are good sized with comfortable beds, the living room/dining room area is a great place to relax and having a full kitchen to make breakfast was cost-saving and convenient. The building is very quiet and we did not hear any street noise at all. As others have noted, Tony is an attentive host, checking in frequently and offering any assistance we might need. By letting us drop off our bags before the check in time, we were able to have a full day of sightseeing. We love this part of town and would jump at the chance to stay at Tony's place if we return.
