Wow, Pietro's apartment was even bigger and nicer than the photos! There were two very nice bathrooms and the bedroom was in the back away from the street and it was very quiet (and big). Even the front room was quiet because it is not on a major street. We had easy access to 3 different subway lines but also walked many places such as Soho, East Village, Greenwich Village and the 9/11 Memorial. The apartment is 1 block away from popular student areas which were very crowded on Saturday night, but it was also easy to avoid and far enough away that there was no late night noise. We will definitely stay here again.
