Just got back from an awesome stay on the Lower East Side. Super convenient to the subway lines. Great food all around. Essex Market, Trader Joes & Target right down the street. Davidovich Bakery on the corner for your morning coffee. The unit was clean & so very comfortable. I have to note that the bedding was great quality, the mattress was super comfortable ( so much so I didn't want to get out of bed) and we had everything we needed. Do not listen to the reports about NYC not being safe. I felt safer there than the streets of Seattle by a long shot. Go & enjoy this wonderful city.
