There are so many good things to say about this space that it would take pages to sing all its praises, so I will stick to three main things. First, the host, Linda, is by far the friendliest, most accommodating, warmest person you will ever meet. She was always available by phone or in person for any questions or needs. Second... trust me on this - you will NOT find a place anywhere in NYC with the kind of charm, character and unique touches found here. It is like walking into a long forgotten NY - interesting details, art, books, paintings, and architecture make you feel almost as if you are staying in a guest house at the Vanderbilt Mansion. If you like vintage, old world charm, you will fall in love. I mean...there's a fireplace in the room! And finally... the place is located maybe three blocks from the heart of the Lower East Side nightlife and restaurant scene. No lengthy Uber rides necessary to get to all the action that downtown has to offer. I highly recommend a stay here. You can't go wrong.
