Little Italy loft - 2 bdrm, not 3 as advertised. NYStay great to work with!
Had a great booking experience with Chandra, and a good check in experience with Marlon. We stayed 5 nights at an apt in the heart of Little Italy on Mulberry St. Although advertised as a 3 bdrm, it's actually a 2 bdrm with a 3rd bed partitioned by bookcases in the living room, and a pull out sofa bed. This was not ideal or what we expected - the two people staying in that bed got little sleep due to the noise and lights from the living area. The other two bedrooms were quiet and fairly comfortable with portable heaters keeping it very cozy. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, but needed a microwave and/or pots & baking dishes. There was no way to heat leftovers except with a frying pan. The full size fridge, gas stove and two full sinks were nice, though. We also enjoyed the large dining table, and lots of room to spread out in the large living room. Being right above several excellent Italian restaurants was wonderful, and made late night dining possible. The closest subway are about 4-6 blocks away - green and yellow lines, and they took us just about anywhere we wanted to go in uptown, downtown or midtown. We took the J train from the same stop out to the JFK Airtrain very inexpensively (although the whole trip took about 1.5 hours). Overall, I'd recommend it for the proximity to Soho, Little Italy and Chinatown, but think carefully about the bedroom placing (bring earplugs and sleep masks for the front room). Hopefully the owners will consider building a 3rd bedroom in the large dining space back by the other two rooms to make a real 3rd bdrm.
