If you are looking for clean, comfortable, basic lodgings in a great Lower East Side location, Roberta's apartment is an excellent choice! Roberta's apartment is well-situated on busy Allen Street in the Lower East Side in a neighborhood that is in transition, with new, hip restaurants, bars and boutiques competing for space with the small Chinatown businesses, restaurants, and stores. The apartment has easy access to public transit and quick access to get around Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, or New Jersey via taxi/ride sharing apps. There is even a parking garage a couple of blocks away on Allen Street.
The apartment was small, but very clean, quiet and comfortable. The apartment is up one flight of stairs, with windows facing away from the street and looking onto other buildings. There are two bedrooms - one with windows and one in the back of the apartment with no windows. Both beds are queen size and are outfitted with comfortable mattresses and bedding. The bathroom facilities - sink, toilet and shower - are small but clean and functional. Air conditioning worked well during our stay. A small kitchen with a stove, oven, and fridge is provided with the necessary utensils, dishes and pots and pans so that you cook a basic breakfast or reheat leftovers.
Roberta responded quickly to my inquiries. The check-in and check-out process involved going to a nearby deli/convenience store to pick up and drop off apartment keys, but Roberta's instructions were clearly communicated to me in advance and I had no problems. Roberta's apartment provided good lodgings at a good price. It was a comfortable place to rest after long days around the city.
