Firstly, we loved the Lower East Side as a location. Great base for walking to Chinatown, Little Italy and East Village. Anna's apartment was charming, with its books and art, quality linens on the beds, and plenty of space for our group of four. The kitchen had everything we needed and we had plenty of hot water. The heating was tremendous. The beds were comfy. Great coffee downstairs. We enjoyed relative peace and quiet at night since the bedrooms were located towards the back of the apartment, away from the street. Anna was great to communicate with. We enjoyed our stay immensely. Thanks Anna!
