This is a great apartment in a wonderful old building. The ground floor shop is amazing! Just take a look round for a real slice of old New York. Be prepared, there are stairs, but once you get up to the 4th the apartment itself is chic, modern, bright and airy. For just the two of us there really was stacks of space and the place could comfortably handle a larger group. The place is well equipped and worked well for our one week stay. We were really comfortable. The neighbourhood is great. Subway stops are no more than 5 minutes away on foot connecting you to most of the city and buses runs right up/down the Bowery. There are all the things you might need within easy reach including asupermarket, heaps of bars, clubs and restaurants, a cinema, off-broadway theatre and it really is a short walk to all of the local areas.
