It’s a very affordable spot in a great area in NYC located in the lower east side of Manhattan on the edge of Chinatown.
There are tons of great restaurants nearby and getting to the subway is a 5 min walk.
The space is a small 3 bedroom 1 bath apartment located on the second floor of an apartment complex. There are no elevators. All three bedrooms get rented out. Max of 6 people total is possible. If some people take a long time in the restroom, it’ll be quite miserable. It didn’t happen to us, but it is quite possible.
The bedroom is pretty small for two people. If you have two full size suitcases open, you cannot walk around comfortably. Make sure to use as much closet as you can. And for drying the bath towels, we used the provided clothes hangers in the closet. It’s not much space, but we didn’t plan on being in the apartment other than sleeping and showering. I didn’t see any AC for the room, so I assume this place must suck to stay at during the summer unless it’s a portable unit(in my experience, they don’t work too well anyway). There is a space heater provided that works really well for the winter.
The kitchen is very small and not the cleanest, but it is a kitchen. There’s a fridge in the kitchen which is useful for leftovers and groceries.
The restroom is very small, bring a bag for your toiletries as you will have no where else to place them unless you want to put them on the toilet seat.
The water in the house is kind of difficult as the hot water is either scolding hot or off. In the shower, I would recommend using your feet to feel if the water is just right or else you’re going to burn yourself.
My stay was as expected for the price point. We were out and about most of the day and only came back at night to shower and sleep. We never cooked inside the house and always ate outside. If you can live with the short comings listed here, this place is in a great area. Everything good to see/do is close, there’s good food everywhere nearby and best of all, the place is cheap.
