This Bowery apartment was perfect for our visit in Manhattan. The location was ideal for us as we were visiting my son who attends NYU but love to spend time in SOHO as well. Pack lightly as it is a walk-up but it's worth it as the brightness of the windows is awesome and it's nice to be on the top floor. The vibe is cool and minimalistic. He has an awesome LP collection and built in speakers that I wish we had used more. It is off 3rd so you do hear street noise but the bedrooms have doors and my very sensitive husband was fine and slept soundly without any earplugs. Michael was a great host. He and I communicated before and during our stay and he was very responsive and accommodating. We hope to stay again.
