Sole's house was a pleasure to stay in. Both me and my partner stayed on the bottom floor for a total of 5 nights, the room was very spacious and we felt comfortable leaving our belongings and cash in the room when we left for the day. Sole ensured we had clean towels and bedding upon arrival and supplied us with toiletries that remained in the bathroom for everybody to use. Both the entrance to her home and to our room had coded access, which was very easy to use.
It's worth noting that I have a long term illness which meant I had to be near a restroom at all times. When we booked Sole's apartment I was anxious about sharing a bathroom with others. However, this was not a problem at all. Neither myself or my partner bumped into anyone else in the building, we felt as though it was our own home. There was no issues with showering in the morning or at night!
There are also 2 easily accessible subway stations nearby. Broadway which is roughly a 5 minute walk and Steinway Street which is about a 10 minute walk. Both of which were simple to find and easy to use. It takes roughly 25 minutes to get into Manhattan, although this sounded a bit longer than we hoped for, it turned out to be a blessing. If you're visiting New York and you're doing it right, that 25 minute journey back to the apartment is great as you get a seat for that time and you can rest your legs! Both me and my partner paid for a week subway card which cost $32 eventhough we were only there for 5/6 days. However this helped us save money as the subway can be expensive if you keep getting single fares.
When we return to New York I will definitely be booking Sole's wonderful home again! On previous trips we have paid a lot of money for hotels in the centre of Manhattan and times square, however we feel as though we got more out of this trip as we weren't constantly surrounded by tourists, and we got to experience more of the city.
