Everything ok, nice reception, Claudia response everything , quickly... regards

This apartment was the perfect location to explore NYC, with so much to enjoy on your doorstep or a short stroll away. The best of Lower Manhattan's eateries, coffee shops, and bars are minutes away, whether you are looking for brunch, dinner or just liquid refreshment. Access to the subway is perfect for those trips further afield too. The apartment itself is a really good size, has postcard views, and feels like a home from home with a very well appointed kitchen and all the comforts of modern living (including numerous takeout menus for a night in !). The host was very helpful and a pleasure to deal with. The only downside for those not used to it, is that traffic noise is 24 hours - but sound insulation is good & it's NYC, so that's to be expected. 5 Stars. Excellent apartment.

The unit at 199 Bowery was exactly what we were looking for. It was equipped with all the necessities. So nice to come back to after shopping, exploring & Broadway Shows! We really enjoyed meeting & talking with the doormen. So friendly & courteous! Thanks Claudia & Paul for making our trip so enjoyable with your rental! Janice & Jim Eyerman

Claudia's apartment was a good base for our 10-night girls' trip to NYC. The apartment was located within an easy walking distance of several subway stops and we navigated Manhattan and Brooklyn with ease. There were tons of great restaurants, shopping and various services (groceries and laundry service) within a few blocks of the apartment as is typical of Manhattan neighborhoods. The closet and drawer space was more than enough to accommodate four ladies who brought too many clothes! Claudia was responsive during the booking process and did respond promptly when we had issues related to the excessive heat in the apartment. However, it would have been nice if she had checked in with us within the first few days of our stay as a courtesy to see how we were managing. The doormen for the building were all courteous and sweet and offered a smile and conversation each time we left or returned to the building. As the apartment is "downtown" it was extraordinarily noisy so earplugs are a must if you want a restful sleep. We did experience issues with the heating system and despite the owners' attempt to have this alleviated our only reprieve was to open the windows to excessive and incessant honking. This was my seventh stay in New York and this was one of the noisiest neighborhoods I have experienced. The restaurant and nightclub directly below this unit did not help! We had an extremely busy itinerary during our stay so our time in the apartment was primarily to sleep and prepare breakfast before heading out for the day. The kitchen was well equipped, however, a larger coffee machine would be more appropriate. The Keurig machine advertised was not provided. The apartment, by New York standards, was massive and offered big windows in the living room with views to Soho and the One World Trade Center and views of the sunset. This unit could be improved with more lighting, especially in the living area and rearrangement of furnishing to allow for a table and four chairs. The apartment accommodates four to sleep but only three to eat together. The building and unit were described as new construction but this was a remodel at best with some touch-ups on the walls needed. The antique intercom phone at the entrance was a dead giveaway as to the age of the building! We thank Claudia for sharing her apartment with us for our time fabulous time in Manhattan.
