This is a true NYC rental. From the outside, it does not look like much, however, once you enter, its a GEM. This is NOT for everyone..If you want a true local experience than this is for you. The location is amazing! You can even get a famous CRONUT, because this apartment is literally right next to the bakery that invented them. We slept amazing. I opened the window and LOVED the sounds of the city. However, even on New Years Eve it was quiet. It's a small bathroom and teeny shower, but it's a real NYC apartment. You have to want to live like like a local in SOHO to LOVE this. We loved it!
