Anja's place is fantastic. The room was big enough for us to move around easily, even with our luggage out and about, which is borderline luxurious in NYC. Her place was as clean as a hotel (or cleaner) and Anja was a wonderful and friendly host - super easy to talk to, and never intrusive. Eldridge street is a residential street, so its super quiet, but its just one or two blocks away from the action at Soho, Little Italy and Chinatown. And the price makes it the best value proposition for staying in NYC.
