Korays place was really well located on the LES. Unfortunately, this can be also be a bit of a negative - if street noise bothers you, think carefully as the flat is located several floors above a funky nightspot which tips out rowdy patrons late each night.

Also, he is still in the middle of renovations - which means the apartment looks quite different to the photos. This is not a bad thing, as the renovations are great (and will be even more so when they are finished), but something to aware of. The floor plan on airbnb is of the new layout.

Other than the above, Koray was a considerate host - he needed to access the apartment a few times during our stay but always made contact prior to doing so.
