APARTMENT/STAFF The apartment is accurately represented in photos: clean, immaculate, newly furnished with great appliances. It's quiet especially compared to other places in the city. Comfortable and furniture (couch, bed). And the interior decorating is quite nice IMHO. Good taste gents! Apartment and building are safe and secure electronic locking doors. Elevator is a nice touch (no walkup with luggage or groceries). Reuben and his group are meticulous and the operation runs like a Swiss watch. Very impressive and reassuring. And they are accessible and friendly. My security deposit was promptly and completely refunded. LOCATION: there is a grocery store catty-corner down the block, cafe across the street, etc. The Alphabet City area is changing for the better. Walk west 1 block you will find more ethnic eateries, bars, and then more sales infrastructure until you eventually find yourself in the East Village and Soho (20 minute walk?). The apartment is about a 10 minute walk to the nearest subway stops (Bleeker Street or Astor Place). This was fine with us but if it's a problem or raining you can taken an Uber for couple of bucks to the subway stop. If were to stay in southeast Manhattan again, I certainly would consider staying here . Highly recommended. And fairly priced, perhaps an understatement.

This was the perfect little retreat for me in the city. The apartment was immaculate, well equipped and remarkably quiet - and exactly as portrayed in the photos (which is not always the case). There are many great restaurants and bars close by and the apartment, though not super close to the subway, is very convenient to the FDR (highway on the east side), which is helpful if you are taking a taxi or Uber up to mid-town, the theater district and other points north - or down to the Financial District (a five minute ride). Of course, the subway is still within a few blocks as well and definitely walkable. Another thing that made this rental - and the renting experience - so nice was the host. Reuben was wonderful before and during the rental - always available to answer questions or assist in any way. I highly recommend this apartment.

I stayed at Reuben's place for a month as a I was moving from LA to NYC and I couldn't have had a better experience. From the very start of our correspondence, he was straight forward, responsive and available if I had any questions at all. When I arrived at the apartment, a good friend of his who lives in the city met me, helped carry my bags up stairs and showed me around and how to work everything. The apartment looks exactly like the photos - I was pleasantly surprised at how well kept the building is and how well it's furnished. It's a beautiful apartment and everything about it made me feel super comfortable during my stay. It's in the perfect location for so many good bars and restaurants - very easy to hop around and central to everything I wanted to do. Now that I live in the city, I can't imagine I'll have a reason to go back, but I would a million times over. I'll be recommending this place to any friends that are coming to visit. I feel very fortunate to have had this place to welcome me to NYC. You will not be disappointed.

We had a great stay in this lovely apartment. We were met by Reuben's friend who was helpful and friendly. The apartment is beautiful, very clean and comfortable. Everything was as advertised. While we didn't cook, we certainly could have as everything you would need is there. We had a minor glitch with the wifi which was handle quickly. It was great that someone was always available to help with questions. This place is highly recommended!

Our stay was amazing. All accessories within the apartment, plus restaurants, bars, and transportation outside the apartment was at our fingertips. We are now "visitors" to NYC after living in Brooklyn for 5+ years. This place gave us the "hip & cool" feel that we miss about NYC so much, plus was curated better than any apartment we've ever stayed in. We felt at home and would definitely recommend this apartment for any visitor.
