I really enjoyed our stay at Lisa's apt. It was clean, comfortable and cute. It is in a great neighborhood with lots of yummy food, cool bars. The Lower East Side, East Village and Nolita are easy walking distance. If you are looking for a hip, vibrant area to stay in while in NYC, this is it. Lisa was great . I would definitely recommend Lisa's apt! Nguyet T.
Jun 27, 2019This was a fantastic stay. Lisa is a very accommodating and friendly person and made us feel most welcome. Thank you!
Jun 27, 2019Lisa was very easy to work with. This was my first experience with airbnb and it was excellent. Lisa accommodated our arrival and departure situation and made us feel welcome. The building felt secure and modern. The apartment is petite but well designed. A large bathroom, comfortable bed, new kitchen, bright living room. Very quiet. Very clean. Very nicely decorated. The neighborhood has everything you need. The subway is about 8 interesting blocks away. We look forward to our next trip - and our next stay in the East Village!
Jun 27, 2019The host canceled my reservation 5 days before arrival.
Jun 27, 2019Perfect apartment; very clean and quiet! It smelled great too! Lisa was nice and welcoming.
Jun 27, 2019Our stay in Lisa's 1BR was great. It's perfectly located in the East Village, with great restaurants, cafés, bars and shops of countless permutations just 'round the corner! The apartment is very clean, nicely decorated and comfy, and Lisa is a super friendly host, full of well-informed suggestions of places to go and things to do. Would definitely stay there again!
Jun 27, 2019It was my first time in NYC and my first time using airbnb, and it couldn't be better ! Lisa's place is in an excellent location in the East Village neighborhood (short walk to Nolita and Lower East Side). We were a hort walk away from the train stations to get us to all the attractions we wanted to see. Her place was very clean and cozy. She provided me and my girlfriend with clean towels and clean sheets for the bed. Lisa was very friendly and responsive. I would definitely stay here again!
Jun 27, 2019Loved having a space to call my own in the Village. The apartment was exactly as advertised. The building was quiet (there's a tenant with a dog across the hall, but the dog rarely barked), the street is quiet, but you're just a few minutes from St. Mark's Place, with every kind of restaurant you could want. If you stay, be sure to try the Cuban place nearby, Casa Adele. I had a great lunch there my first day in the 'hood.
Jun 27, 2019For a first time in NYC, the East village is a perfect location, Lisa's place is for sure part of our great experience in NYC. 10 mn away from the metro and 8 mn from great bars. Definitely hard to do better. Lisa's flat is exactly as showed as on the pictures. Actually you do not see very well the shower on the Airbnb website. And It is a great one! The flat was super clean and definitely big enough for 2 people. The all building is vey welcoming also as is Lisa's flat To get all the rest of NYC, you just pick and choose. For my first experience with Airbnb it is a full succes
Jun 27, 2019Lisa was a great hostess, and her place is exactly as advertised, plus quiet, clean and in an awesome neighborhood. I did find it a bit far from the subway, but if you don't mind walking that's ok. I recommend!
Jun 27, 2019Lisa's apartment has been recently renovated with a full kitchen, comfortable bed and great bathroom. The location is excellent. Just a 10 minute walk to Nolita and Soho. Very quiet. The only downside was that it was unseasonably hot while we where there and the air conditioner beside the bed was really noisy.
Jul 27, 2019Lisa's flat was just perfect for our stay in the Big Apple. Ideally located in the East Village, in a quiet street not far at all from all the night buzz...Since it's fully equipped, you can even enjoy cooking at home if you want but who would do that when you have so many good and cheap places to eat in the area, right ?! Even if Lisa could not be home when we arrived, everything was perfectly organized at our arrival (keys, instructions, etc.). We would definitely go back to this place, but hoping to meet Lisa this time :-)
Jun 27, 2019While Lisa's place was nicely renovated and tidy, we didn't feel as though it was incredibly clean. The bed is definitely NOT a queen, and while it is comfortable it is only a double and definitely too small for a couple. The location is nice and quite, but be prepared to walk ALOT as it's a good 20 minute walk to the closest subway, not ideal! Lisa was lovely to liaise with in the lead up to our visit, but we were disappointed we were not able to leave our bags in the apartment until 3pm on the day we were due to leave, despite correspondence from Lisa saying this may be possible.
Jun 27, 2019The place is great and exactly like the photos! Lisa was great about coordinating with us to get us the keys (we had a late flight in). The place is cozy and a perfect fit for two travelers. I would definitely stay there again!
Jun 27, 2019Very beautiful place and conveniently located. I'd stay here again!
Jun 27, 2019I had a great experience staying at Lisa's place for two nights. It's very spacious for an apartment in the LES and the space is used wisely. I liked the southeast Asian and Indian inspired decor as well. I would definitely recommend staying here. It's a great location for exploring all of the non touristy parts of the lower east side.
Jun 27, 2019Lisa's apartment was perfect for us, a nice walk to the recital we were attending at NYU. A great location in general ( close to the best bagels I have ever eaten!), as well as clean and comfortable. I would recommend it!
Jun 27, 2019Lisa was a great host. Perfect size apt for a couple, comfortable and very clean. Nice vibe in the building. We would definitely stay there again. Thx!
Jun 27, 2019Great moment in Big Apple ! The appartment is well located, near a bus line that brings you to Union Square in less than 10 minutes ! Between Avenue D (supermarkets, fast foods) and Avenue C (Pubs and restaurants) it´s a good choice to stay in Manhattan !
Jun 27, 2019What a fabulous place! My husband and I loved Lisa's East Village apartment. It is in the perfect New York neighbourhood within easy walking distance to heaps of restaurants, bars, and public transport. It took us about 10mins to walk to the subway but that just meant we could check out more of the neighbourhood. Lisa was an excellent host- she answered all our questions quickly, key pickup/drop off was easy and she was non-intrusive but contactable if need be. We are so happy that we came across her apartment and will return!
Jun 27, 2019We had a great stay at Lisa's apartment. Lisa was quick with communication and the check-in was easy. It was as per the photos and very clean. It's also quiet at night despite being close to so many bars and restaurants. It's a 15-minute walk to either 1 Av or 2 Av subway stations but that wasn't an issue for us. The air conditioning and fans also worked well. All in all, very good.
Jun 27, 2019Great location (love the neighborhood!), cute apartment and Lisa is great and very helpful. Would recommend this place to other people. Thanks Lisa!
Jun 27, 2019Cosy little apartment in a great location. Fantastic dining and nightlife options within easy walking distance. It is located on 4th floor so carrying luggage up/down stairs isn't easy, but it does help burn off all the New York pizza! We enjoyed our stay, thank you Lisa.
Jun 27, 2019Place was very clean and the location was great. Liza was very easy to get in touch with and checking in and out was very easy. Can't wait to come back and stay again as we just didn't have time to see it all.
Jun 27, 2019Great place and great location. We loved the local character of the neighborhood. It is a bit far from the train but using the local buses was very convenient. Lisa was very helpful and warm. Although we arrived early, she let us into her apartment 30 minutes earlier than check-in time. Thanks Lisa!
Jun 27, 2019Super clean apt, good location,good communication. Try abc beer co.
Jun 27, 2019I spent a month in Lisa's tidy and comfortable apartment in ABC city. Lisa was a gracious and accommodating host. I appreciate very much that she allowed me to pick up the keys one day prior to check-in. As an ex-New Yorker, there are a few things I'm already prepared for, but there are a few that I wish other reviewers would list: Is it quiet? Yes, very much so, especially back where the bed is located. Also the neighbors are very considerate in keeping to the quiet hours. Is the bed comfortable? The Murphy bed is surprisingly so, although a lot of movement may make the panels rattle a bit. How is the water pressure in the shower? Good. Water temperature stayed constant. Is it a walk-up? yes, be prepared to walk up a few flights of stairs. I didn't mind and this is very typical for NYC. How is the neighborhood? I bit more remote then usual, but safe and accessible. Lots of places to go eat and have a drink nearby. I also +1 the recommendation for ABC Beer Co. Was there storage space? yes, Lisa made a closet, a large drawer in a chest of drawers, shelves in the pantry available, and cleared out the bathroom cabinet. Plenty of room for my needs. All in all a good experience.
Jun 27, 2019The apartment was great!! It was well located, very nicely decorated, calm, zen environment and cozy! Also very clean! Lisa is a very good host,she was available! We really appreciated that there was a hair dryer, and towel in the bathroom;) Just perfect! thanks Lisa ;)
Jun 27, 2019Lisa's apartment is nestled on a quiet street in the East Village. She graciously let us check in a bit early and was very easy to communicate with. Her apartment was very clean and perfectly suited for two!
Jun 27, 2019My experience in Lisa's apartment was amazing. I loved living there! Everything works properly and the area is perfect to live. It's quiet but also you have the opportunity to walk around and enjoy the coffee shops and bars! East Village is the greatest place to live or be a tourist! Lisa is a wonderful host!
Jun 27, 2019Lisa's place was convenient and comfortable. Everything worked well - aircon, wifi etc. etc. The subway is about 15 minutes walk away, but I enjoyed exploring the area. Especially loved Animals Food and Drink on E9th street - highly recommend the sandwiches! Lisa was really easy to contact, and always responded quickly to any messages, the key handover went smoothy, and Lisa kindly let me check out late morning. An excellent stay. Thanks Lisa.
Jun 27, 2019We loved the apartment. It was close to bars and cafés and the apartment and the whole building was clearly well looked after. It felt spacious, with a separate living area, although the bed may feel a bit cramped if you're used to space. Lisa left us a key at a local grocery and was available to answer questions through our stay. The 3 flights of stairs don't feel that bad, but the nearest subway is 15-20 mins away. Don't feel afraid to use the city's bike hire scheme which is available around the corner!
Jun 27, 2019My husband and I were very excited for our vacation in NYC and also very excited as first time users of Airbnb. We heard such great things! However, Lisa had a cold demeanor upon meeting with her, she wasn't very friendly as we anticipated. And then she told us not to snoop through her things. I think we knew that from the get go, but it was just interesting that she told us that. It seemed like she was in a hurry, so just left the keys and went out the door. We questioned the apartment at first glanced as well, but we wanted to give the experience a chance based on all the great reviews we read. FYI - the pictures on Airbnb did not showcase the apartment's realistic look. The pictures were obviously enhanced by a professional camera and usage of lighting because half of the apartment is actually dark and dingy. We chose to stay here because we're huge fanatics of natural light, which disappointed us. The apartment building smelled of really strong incense if you're into that kind of thing, but it just became bothersome after a while. The bed was not comfortable to sleep on and we woke up several times during the night because it dipped in the center that caused me and my husband to roll inwards. Super uncomfy! The ad states that this apartment is located in one of the up and coming areas, which was a cool area, however it fails to mention that its location is on a block where it's pretty sketchy and unsafe to walk around in the late hours especially when coming home late at night. Not our cup of tea! Finally, we decided to hold our baggages until 4pm for an additional cost of $35. There was a breakdown in communication of when to leave the money so Lisa decides to call us SCREAMING and YELLING at my husband for not leaving the money even when he sincerely apologized for misunderstanding over and over. She goes on and on and then has the audacity to hang up on us and rudely texted us to grab our bags and just leave. This is not the proper way to treat anyone for any reason! Especially when we had been good guests for the entire duration of our stay. It's not polite, unprofessional, and just not right to scream at people when there's a problem. So be aware everyone! Our recommendation, DO NOT deal with a host like Lisa who is unfriendly and disrespectful. She ruined our last day of vacation and left a very bad taste of our Airbnb experience. I most definitely recommend that you spend a few more bucks for a much better apartment, area, and host. STAY AWAY! :(
Jun 27, 2019I live in Manhattan and stayed at Lisa's apartment for a weekend with my mother who was visiting from out of town. Lisa's place was just what we were looking for. It was very clean, newly renovated and updated, and nicely furnished. She has really made the most of the limited space in an NYC studio apartment and it feels homey and comfortable. One of the reasons I initially chose her apartment for the weekend was the location- it's a short walk from the many great bars and restaurants that Alphabet City, the Lower East Side and the East Village have to offer. My mom and I had a great weekend strolling through these neighborhoods. The only drawback is that the only easily accessible subway is the 2nd Ave F. If you want to go somewhere that isn't accessible from the F line, some more walking/transferring/cabbing/Ubering is required. Overall, I would highly recommend Lisa's apartment for a fun, unique downtown experience in NYC.
Jun 27, 2019Lisa's apartment was exactly how it was pictured and described, very comfortable, clean, nice furnishings, great layout and close enough to restaurants, bars, subway etc. Loved the bed area was totally dark for sleeping in...we stayed on CA time, up at 11AM and in bed at 1AM! We were rarely at the apt but a couple simple things made it perfect, extra hot water (you could burn yourself!), great water pressure, natural sunlight, fresh air, super clean with fresh towels and sheets! We would definitely stay at Lisa's the next time we are in NYC! Thanks for hosting us in your home!
Jun 27, 2019Lisa's place was excellent. Great location in east village. Would recommend highly. Thank you for allowing us to stay.
Jun 27, 2019Everything was perfect, Lisa apartment and how she has arranged everything, totally uncomplicated. We could contact Lisa for questions during our stay. The apartment has a great location, very close to nice bars and restaurants. It was also very clean and had enough space for two person. All in all I would highly recommend this for your stay in NY. Thanks a lot Lisa!
Jun 27, 2019Lisa's flat is great, exactly as showed in the pictures and in a great location close to a lot of nice bars and restaurants of the East Village. It's cosy, clean and very pretty. Lisa has been great in organising the key delivery and drop out: even when plans changed, she notified us in a timely manner and with a solution ready so we didn't have to think but just to follow easy instructions. Thanks Lisa for your amazing hospitality!
Jun 27, 20195/5 for sure. Lisa was great to work with, she was quick to respond with useful information. As for the apartment, it was as advertised. Comfortable, quiet, clean, and in a great location. We would definitely recommend Lisa's place to friends who are traveling to NYC in the future.
Jun 27, 2019The apartment was clean, inviting, and very comfortable. The location was perfect with two bus stops at either end of the street as well as supermarkets, restaurants and bars. The area is very safe - I would recommend Lisa's apartment to anyone.
Jun 27, 2019Lisa's appartment was perfect, very well situated, close to a lot of restaurants and nice cafes of the east Village. There is a nice square close to the place. The appartment was as on the photos. Lisa was very helpful and nice. Thank you, Lisa!
Jun 27, 2019Stayed as Lisa's apartment for 4 weeks. Great & safe location with subways within 15 min walk. Good sized apartment - looks exactly like the photos. Lisa was also very accomodating by allowing us to check in early and check out late. Would definitely stay here again!
Jun 27, 2019We had a great time staying at Lisa's in the East Village. Well located, everything is like the pictures, easy communication. All in all a perfect Airbnb experience, with zero problems or surprises. Thanks, Lisa!
Jun 27, 2019we had a great stay in Lisa's apartment. The place is clean and very well located with street parking available right in front. Lisa is a great host and was very kind for answering the questions about the neighborhood. We highly recommend this place for your trip in New York city!
Jun 27, 2019The place was as described, the location was borderline alphabet city/LES but quite acceptable. Neighborhood was pretty decent. If you like motorcycles there is a sweet repair shop on same street that has a great line up of old triumphs and what not in front. We did have a slight problem with the cleanliness. The apt itself was clean (bathroom etc) but the sheets had hair on them and there was lipstick on the towels in the bathroom. We found fresh sheets in the commode and there were fresh towels on the bed. We ended up having to use t-shirts as pillow covers. Lisa was very apologetic but getting clean pillow covers ended up being a bit of a hassle as she was out of town and her handyman had non specific hours. All in all place was OK, but I feel like maybe we should have just stayed in a hotel. Lisa did offer to pay for linens we bought etc and was concerned about the whole ordeal.
Jun 27, 2019Great stay! I live in Brooklyn and needed to move out for several days during my home renovation. We chose Lisa's place because of its great central location near some of my favorite bars and restaurants, and walking distance to neighborhoods like Union Square and Soho (shopping, movie theaters, parks). During my down time, her apartment was a cozy, quiet place to relax-- clean, with a bright and comfortable sitting area. Ceiling fans and AC kept the apartment cool during a particularly hot week. Be aware that this apartment is best for someone active-- it's up four steep flights of stairs. On the plus side, there are tons of good food options and convenient stores within 2-3 blocks walk (I loved Croissanteria for breakfast!)
Jun 27, 2019Lisa has created a wonderful home in a great neighborhood. I really enjoy it when I get to feel the personality and learn more while I stay at someone's place. Lisa is a great host, very organized and welcoming. No surprises or glitches, great experience. The communication was swift, pleasant and always to the point. Alphabet city is one of the best kept secrets of Manhattan and I highly recommend this place for your trip in New York city!
Jun 27, 2019We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Lisa's apartment. Lisa was exceptionally well-organized and generous. The place was just as nice as advertised - very comfortable and super clean. What we loved the most was the neighborhood! Diverse, vibrant, yet peaceful. Lisa made our stay in NYC truly fantastic. I would definitely love to stay again!
Jun 27, 2019This is the 2nd time we have stayed at the apt....clean, well kept, great, location, quiet building, and Lisa is very easy to deal - very responsive! Thanks for another great stay in NYC!
Jun 27, 2019I stayed in Lisa's apartment for 3 days and everything was great. The apartment is beautiful, clean and cozy, exactly like the pictures. Besides that, Lisa was always very helpful, she answered almost instantly to every question I made and was also flexible with the check in time. I recommend it!
Jun 27, 2019Everything about staying in Lisa's home was perfect. She is so easy and bright and engaging. She makes getting keys simple and allows you complete privacy. Her home was for me a slice of heaven. As a creative person it was the perfect embrace. It is also so artistically decorated. The feeling is authentic, textured, warm and quiet. The neighborhood is the safe, cool, artistic, energetic, and has the feeling of a village... small shops, good markets, original restaurants and a park. I am so sad to leave. If you enjoy walking, it is an easy and engaging walk along sweet streets into Chinatown, the lower east side, Soho, Tribeca, the village, Flatiron, Chelsea, and minutes from midtown by cab. Delighted by and grateful for this experience in every way. XO
Jun 27, 2019My stay at Lisa's apartment was fantastic. When I had to change my schedule around due to work commitments, Lisa was very accommodating and had a courier service scheduled. Her apartment is at the perfect location and I appreciated that Lisa checked in on us during our stay to make sure everything was ok. Her apartment was very clean, quiet, and the right size for our NY trip. Towards the end of our trip, my friend and I even discussed if we could stay at Lisa's apartment again on our next trip back to the city. Thanks for everything Lisa!
Jun 27, 2019Buena experiencia!!! tiene lo necesario para hacer una Estadia agradable. No tuvimos ningún problema, Lisa responde dudas de inmediato. Gracias Lisa ! Muchos saludos
Jun 27, 2019I was very impressed during our stay at Lisa's apartment. It's in a fantastic location and included all of the amenities that my father and I needed for our 3-day trip to New York. The process of getting and returning the keys was very safe and professional. The apartment is a little far from the main Subway lines, but there are buses that come very close to her street. We'll definitely be back on our next visit!
Jun 27, 2019The host canceled this reservation 51 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
Jun 27, 2019Lisa's home was very nice clean and comfy. The space was wonderful and Lisa left notes everywhere to help us around the house. Although the location in east village was good the closest subway was a 15 minute walk which is not optimal during New York winter, but many bus services are supplied in the surrounding streets. Lisa's place was very cute and felt very homey it had everything we needed and more.
Jun 27, 2019Lisa's place is adorable and in an amazing location! You're right in the heart of Alphabet City, and there were plenty of restaurants, convenience stores, liquor stores, etc. nearby. It was a short subway ride into Manhattan as well, but we had no difficulty catching a cab in the area either. Her space is also spacious in terms of how tiny NY apartments can be, more than enough room for myself and my boyfriend. We didn't personally meet Lisa, but she was extremely quick to reply to our messages and picking up the keys/getting into the apartment was a breeze. Highly recommend staying at her place if looking for somewhere not super touristy but still close to Manhattan. Thanks again for letting us stay!
Jun 27, 2019Lisa's apartment is just as described and as is on pictures. Me, my husband and a one year old really enjoyed our stay. Everything was clean and worked fine. Lisa is very responsive and accommodating. We were very happy with the neighborhood; diverse and fun. The only minus is access to transportation (10 min to the bus). The keys are picked up/dropped off in a cafe in 10 min distance. All in all - everything was very good!
Jun 27, 2019My stay in Lisa's apartment worked out wonderfully. Her place is comfortable, a pleasing space (as you can see in the photos) to be in, and quiet which is most appreciated after a day out and about in the city. I love being in the East Village/Alphabet City area of Manhattan as it has a real community feel. There are not many highrises and lots of community gardens which the the citizens in this area have worked hard to maintain. There are lots of good restaurants,coffee shops, boutiques and services there so you don't even have to leave the neighborhood.
Jun 27, 2019Clean. Good location.
Jun 27, 2019Lisa's apartment was very clean and perfect for our long weekend trip! We were able to find parking right down the street (on the same block) and the location was excellent. We were so close to parks and fun parts of the East Village and not a far walk to subway stations to get all over the city.
Jun 27, 2019Excellent place to stay! Apartment was exactly as described, clean and in perfect location. Lisa was a great host, great communication and the key drop cafe worked well. Would recommend to anyone wishing for a short stay in the city and would definitely use again
Jun 27, 2019Lisa was not in town at our arrival, but we knew this before and she was great in organizing the keys to be passed forward by an agent, of course for additional costs. We had some difficulties with the agency itself, but Lisa's responsiveness and availability over the mobile phone was very fast, so we have always managed to solve all the problems. And the people were all so nice. The apartment was just as can be seen on the photos. Very cozy, quiet and clean. The bed was very good-after long walks all over the city u need a good rest. The grocery shop was just around the corner on the main street where u could easily get a taxi. It was also in walking distance to the restaurants, cafes and bars and a Sunday market in a park where u can chill out in a vivid neighborhood and observe ordinary people from NY, not only tourists. We would definitely choose Lisa's apartment again for our stay.
Jun 27, 2019We had a great stay in NYC and loved the area of Lisa's apartment in alphabet city. She was really helpful in organising a courier to deliver our keys (at an extra fee) as we arrived after 6pm. There's little to no street noise but the AC unit next to the bed is pretty noisy if you need it on during warm nights! I'm a really light sleeper though and after wandering the city all day we were tired enough to sleep right through the night without it being an issue. All in all, the apartment is exactly as described and we had a great time, thanks Lisa!
Jun 27, 2019It was a comfortable size apartment for two in a central location to area. Lisa was very easy to communicate with during our stay for which we were very grateful.
Jun 27, 2019Lisa was a great host, and responded promptly every time I needed to reach out with questions, and luckily, she was able to accommodate our early arrival time with a minimal fee, so we could drop our bags and get exploring! Her place was exactly like the pics, and super clean, and it's really quiet because of its position in the building, so no worries about any street noise, but it's a quiet street for the most part anyway, and any neighbors in the building were also quiet. The location is definitely convenient you love any part of Greenwich village, it's literally just a few blocks from all kinds of interesting shops, restaurants, and bars if you want to check out some local nite life..(we had the best burgers of our lives at Pauls da Burger Joint on 2nd Ave) and Tompkins Square park is about two blocks away, along with tonssss of great community parks! We'd definitely come back!
Jun 27, 2019Alles war so wie in der Beschreibung auf Airbnb beschrieben. Lisa hat noch versucht, uns den Schlüssel in einer näher gelegenem Ort zu deponieren und war auch sonst sehr hilfreich und entgegenkommend. Die Wohnung ist sehr ruhig gelegen, ein Fenster geht in einen Lichtschacht und die anderen in einen Hinterhof. Leider kann man, wenn man selber das Klimagerät in der Wohnung nicht nutzt, die Kondensatoren der Nachbarwohnungen im Lichtschacht hören; dies kann störend laut sein, wenn man es nicht gewohnt ist. Ich habe daher die ersten Tage mit Ohrstöpsel geschlafen. Die Wohnung liegt am Rande des East Village, viele Lokale auch in der benachbarten Avenue C, unter anderem ein österreichisches (Eddie and the wolf) und ein bayrisches (zum Schneider). "The stone", ein Club mit avantgardistischer Jazzmusik (Betreiber John Zorn), liegt am unteren Ende der Av. C. Zusammengefasst: gerne wieder New York und bei Lisa.
Jun 27, 2019Cozy apartment with good amenities. Lisa kept in touch with me and was easy to reach when I had questions. The bed was comfy and everything was clean. The four flights of stairs were a bit steep and getting up and down them wasn't fun. All in all a good place and good value. Very quiet and off the busy street which was nice. Very enjoyable.
Jun 27, 2019We had a really great stay at Lisas apt. The apt is totally as described. Nice, very clean and even enough space for a little family. The area is just perfect. You have the best bars and restaurants around the corner. Lisas correspondence was easy and prompt. We would definitely be coming back!
Jun 27, 2019The place was exactly how it was stated. We loved the place and the area that it was in, will definitely come back if ever in New York! Highly recommended. Lisa was an amazing host that responded promptly and took care of any issues we had.
Jun 27, 2019Cute apartment, perfect size for a couple spending a weekend. Lisa was very helpful getting us the key after hours, and the instructions were very helpful.
Jun 27, 2019I stayed at Lisa's place while visiting my son who lives in the East Village. Lisa was a wonderful host! Her place is nicely appointed and very clean. Her description is accurate and everything she says it is it is. I felt very much at home. Thank you, Lisa, for a wonderful stay (Website hidden by Airbnb)
Jul 27, 2019Absolutely loved our stay at Lisa's place. She was so friendly and very accommodating we specially with last minute details. The apartment is well located in the East Village, on a quiet street, but a short walk from anything you could possibly need. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend!
Jun 27, 2019I had a great stay in the apartment, clean and tidy upon arrival. Lots of useful notes dotted around the apartment, with a helpful apartment guide.
Jun 27, 2019Lisa made everything very smooth and easy. She has been very available and accommodating. The flat is very cute and coosy, a bit hot in the summer time, but luckily A/C and fan can help. The surrounding area is pretty amazing, exiting and enjoyable especially in the night time. We strongly reccomend Lisa's flat for a staying in New York.
Jun 27, 2019Great cozy loft in hip neighborhood
Jun 27, 2019Lovely studio in the East Village( old Alphabet City). Extremely quiet, clean and private. Internet access was fast. Nearest subway is 14th St or 2nd and Bowery so keep that in mind if you're not into walking. Otherwise cabs and buses are always an option. My wife and myself enjoyed our stay. PS. There is no computer( as shown in photo) so don't forget your laptop or Ipad. Also there is no cable TV if that is a concern for you.
Jun 27, 2019Lisa's apartment was perfect for our stay in NYC. Location is great with lots of nice bars, restaurants and Tompkins Square Park nearby. Would definitely recommend!
Jun 27, 2019El departamento de Lisa nos resultó muy cómodo y apropiado para el alojamiento de dos personas. Nos sentimos muy a gusto aunque no estuvimos mucho tiempo en la casa. Todo funcionaba correctamente y Lisa fue muy amable y atenta en la comunicación con nosotras.
Jun 27, 2019Lisa's place is great! Close to public transportation. Lots of cool places for coffee or grabbing a bite. You are just a couple blocks away from the subway or bus. Close enough to experience the city but still a very quiet neighborhood. The apartment is very clean and cozy. Lisa communicates well and is attentive to your needs. Wonderful experience!!
Jun 27, 2019The host is long on rules, and short on welcome. Host had not sent me the key code, and I sat in the designated spot for over 40 minutes trying to reach her to obtain code. Finally reached her; she raised her voice, cut me off, and implied that I had done something wrong in not HAVING THE KEY CODE. This airbnb was so bare-bones. Every other place I've stayed the host leaves a few necessities to help tide you over til you get to the store, and to make you feel welcome. Not so here. Heads up: Bring your own washcloth, soap, coffee grounds for first day, etc, etc, etc. Inhospitable, unfriendly host.
Jun 27, 2019Lisa's apartment was exactly as described and in a really characterful area. Clean apartment, quiet, great wifi, walking distance to most places. Lisa responded very quickly to any email/text queries, and I would definitely stay there again. Thanks Lisa :-)
Jun 27, 2019departamento super bien ubicado, en un lindo barrio, ideal para conocer Manhattan. es pequeño, pero cómodo y tiene lo necesario. A tener en cuenta.... no tiene ascensor....asi que 3 pisos por escalera. de todas maneras, New York te atrapa y solo subis/bajar para salir a la mañana y volver a la noche! lo recomiendo! excelente balance precio/ calidad/ ubicacion
Jun 27, 2019Lisa's apartment is small but lovely and in a really great location in the East Village which is a very cool area, lots of cafes, bars and restaurants around. The check in was seamless by collecting the keys at a restaurant a few blocks away and returning them at the same spot with a code. Check in is at 4pm, which is quite late but I believe that could be normal for NYC apartments. I was disappointed that an earlier check-in to just drop off our heavy bags and explore the city would cost an additional $35 despite the key drop-off system that wouldn't put the host out.
Jun 27, 2019Wonderful place to stay. Not far from the subway line. My friends and I were very impressed.
Jul 27, 2019Great apartment - perfect size for two people - in a fantastic neighborhood. We enjoyed our stay!
Jun 27, 2019Lisa's place was everything it said on the tin. Plenty of room, a comfy bed and everything I needed to have a comfortable stay in the city. It's location is awesome, close to Tompkin Sq Park and not too far to the subway, plus all the amazing bars and restaurants East Village has to offer. Lisa was super helpful and responded swiftly every time I dropped her a message. I'd recommend this place to anyone wanting to feel like a local and enjoy the city! Thanks for everything Lisa! :) Hollie x
Jun 27, 2019The apartment was as described and clean. It is a 4-flight walk-up with no elevator that we saw. The key must be picked up at a secondary location. Towels for a 3rd person much be supplied by renter. It was within walking distance to bars and restaurants.
Jun 27, 2019Lisa's place is a true gem! We loved our stay. The apartment is really clean and tidy, plus quiet & cosy. The bed was so comfy - really nice to come back and rest after a long day of sightseeing. The apartment is close to lots and lots of good food and bars in the village which we took full advantage of! The best neighbourhood in NYC! Lisa left clear check-in instructions that were easy to follow and she's really responsive to messages. Thanks Lisa for being a wonderful host.
Jun 27, 2019Pen leilighet med alt man trenger av fasiliteter. Rene rom og rent bad. Brukte både sovesofaen og dobbeltsengen. Raskt bredbånd i leiligheten. Ligger i en roligere gate på Manhattan, men med gåavstand til det meste en trenger. Livlige og hippe gater i naboområdet. Var veldig enkelt å kommunisere med vertinnen. Genialt at nøklene kan plukkes opp og leveres på et byrå i nærheten, samt at man eventuelt har muligheten til å oppbevare koffert der en leverer nøkler på avreisedagen. Ville definitivt valgt dette stedet igjen!
Jun 27, 2019Lisa's apartment is perfectly located a couple of streets away from some bustling parts of the East Village filled with lively restaurants and bars, but is surprisingly quiet, providing for a restful sleep. The apartment is very clean, and provided a perfect base for our exploration of the city. The key pick up/drop off is a comfortable 15 minute walk from the apartment, and offers the not-to-be-missed opportunity to pick up a pastrami sandwich from the amazing Katz's Deli which is en route. I would happily recommend Lisa's apartment for a visit to the city. Thank you, David
Jun 27, 2019Beautiful apartment. Comfortable and well placed. There is a lot of pubs and bars in surrounding area. Excellent bed!
Jun 27, 2019Nice place, well located and very quiet. No so far from the Subway (15min walk) and close to lots of restaurants and bars.
Jun 27, 2019Lisa's place was really nice, is a very good area of East village. There are quiet a few bars/ lounges in the neighbourhood, and we were minutes drive away from the subway. Would love to come back here again.
Jun 27, 2019Ons verblijf was geweldig. Lisa was erg goed en duidelijk in haar communicatie. Haar huis was erg schoon, ruim en compleet. De locatie is perfect ten opzichte van openbaar vervoer en restaurants en barren. Echt een aanrader!
Jun 27, 2019Great host! Everything was great!
Jun 27, 2019Probably won't stay here again it was up 4 flights of steep stairs. The neighbors had a very noisy barking dog and there was not a lot of accommodations like I'm used to with using air B&B. I'm used to having coffee provided and more towels.
Jun 27, 2019Great cozy little spot in a quiet section of Alphabet City. Clean, comfortable walk-up, AC was useful, super quiet building, in waking distance of great restaurants and bars, public transportation, etc. Would definitely come back.
Jun 27, 2019Clean, comfortable bed, close to Avenue C, which has some interesting places to see, but apartment is slightly off the beaten path. Getting and dropping off the key is enough of an inconvenience that the renter should be able to charge the host a fee.
Jun 27, 2019Lisa's apartment is clean, adorable and located towards D on sixth street so the traffic is relatively quiet. I've always loved Alphabet City, and it's current incarnation is still wonderful, so I would recommend this location and apartment highly.
Jun 27, 2019Lisa is very quick with your responses and is a delight to deal with. She gives clear instructions. Place is nicely located in a hip area close to many swanky bars and cafes. Her place is clean, bed and pillows are super comfortable. Opening the front door is a bit of an art but you get the hang of it after a few goes. It appears most front doors are like this in New York anyway! Would definitely recommend staying here.
Jun 27, 2019Great apartment. Clean and cosy. Only issue was noisy air conditioning unit next to the bed.
Jun 27, 2019Lisa was an amazing host!
Jun 27, 2019Idéal pour la découverte de Manhattan très bien
Jun 27, 2019Not recommended for the first time in NY. Pros very silent, close to city bike rental Cons 4th floor and no elevator, all NY attractions far from the house and underground and buses lines with manu changes to reach them, sheets and pillows as towels not clean, make sure to bring towels and also your hair dryer, consider that there is no flexibility in the check out and make your plans accordingly.
Jun 27, 2019Great location: subway is very close or an easy 15 minute stroll into the heart of SoHo. Excellent amenities & super tidy!
Jun 27, 2019L'appartement était au calme, dans un quartier où il fait bon manger des brunchs ou dîner le soir en rentrant de sa folle journée new-yorkaise. Dommage que certains petits conforts ne soient pas au rendez-vous et qu'on trouve pourtant dans des Airbnb au même prix dans le quartier : comme le thé et le café (ici inexistant), ou surtout des serviettes de bain décentes (ici des serviettes certes propres mais vieilles et tachées), du papier toilette et en bonne quantité (ici 2,5 rouleaux pour 2 pour 7 jours) et un vrai ensemble savon/douche (ici quelques mini flacons type hôtel deci-delà). Ce sont ces petits détails qui font se sentir vraiment bien d'avoir choisi ce Airbnb ou un autre. A vous de voir si cela vous convient où si vous préférez tenter votre chance ailleurs.
Jun 27, 2019We loved staying in Lisa's apartment, east village is such a great location, heaps of bars and restaurants just walking distance and it was nice after a long day out to come back to comfortable bed. Definitely recommend staying here.
Jun 27, 2019Lisa's place is a great base to explore New York. Also a wonderful area for bars and restaurants in the evening.
Jun 27, 2019El alojamiento de Lisa es realmente bueno al igual que su predisposición para dar respuesta a las consultas. El barrio es lindo, silencioso y a la vez tranquilo como para poder moverse de noche, pero con algunos lugares nocturnos para comer y tomar algo. A pocas cuadras está el Metro F que permite acceder al centro de Manhattan rápido y sin problemas. En cuanto el departamento, es muy lindo, con todo lo que uno necesita para disfrutar de la estancia en NY. Un punto a mejorar es el colchón que era demasiado blando y si uno no está acostumbrado dificulta la dormida. Para los que tengan pensado manejar muchas valijas, sepan que es en un cuarto piso por escalera empinada! La verdad que volveríamos a lo de Lisa, tanto por el departamento como por su predisposición! Saludos!
Jun 27, 2019Lisa's place is lovely and she was a great host, available and flexible. I highly recommend her place!
Jun 27, 2019Great host... responds quickly and very helpful. We had a great stay.
Jun 27, 2019Great Location, Cozy Place for staying, easy access to amenities, timely communication by host
Jun 27, 2019Lisa was a lovely host, she was very helpfull in all our needs. The apartment was in a great and fun neighbourhood. Really nice place to stay!
Jun 27, 2019First airbnb. Busy two weeks in NYC for work/school, and the apartment was a perfect choice for me. Lisa was super responsive and very helpful as well.
Jun 27, 2019All excellent! Served us well, great restaurants and bars surrounding or just a few blocks away. Great central location for sight seeing, we did a lot of walking per day, but that’s just how we like it! Plenty of transport on offer if required.
Jun 27, 2019Great value for money. Great location and quick responses from Lisa. The only downfall is a lack of airflow in the flat. You cannot open the windows. The air in the bedroom/kitchen is very still and can get very hot. There is AC which cools the space down quickly but it is very very loud. But like I said value for money. Pay more if you want a nicer space.
Jun 27, 2019Lisa’s place is quiet, private, clean, comfortable and homely, and nicely located in a vibrant and eclectic neighbourhood. A great experience.
Jun 27, 2019Good place and great location
Jun 27, 2019We loved our month-long stay at Lisa's place. Even though the Lower East Side can get pretty hectic, it was nice to go back to a quiet and cozy apartment. Lisa is a very attentive and responsive host, and was particularly responsive around check-in and check-out. The only thing to look out for (and Lisa mentions this accurately in her description) is that the apartment is pretty far from any subway line. Not too bad once you get the hang of it -- and there are a few buses in the area -- but if you're planning on traveling by subway while in the city, it's worth thinking about. Otherwise, it's an awesome spot, and the neighborhood is great. We would definitely go back!
Jul 27, 2019Great apartment. Very clean and on a top notch location. We didn't meet Lisa, but she kept in touch via text message so we felt very welcome.
Jun 27, 2019great apartment! super cute and very very clean. looks exactly like the pictures and Lisa was such a wonderful host. she was super communicative and understanding of our late check out. her apartment is really a gem
Jun 27, 2019Apartamento correcto por el precio (que ya da a entender que va a ser pequeñito), pero muy mal ventilado y mucho menos luminoso que lo que se ve en la foto. En cuanto a la zona, es un barrio muy multicultural y tan variopinto como el mismo Nueva York: edificios ruinosos y llenos de pintadas al lado de bloques reconstruidos y ocupados por parejas jóvenes de buen poder adquisitivo. Y por último, el encargado de asistir a los huéspedes (que no la propietaria) es un chico encantador que ayuda a resolver cualquier problema.
Jun 27, 2019Good stay! Place was very clean and the location was great, ideally located in the East Village, in a quiet street not far from nice restaurants and bars. The subway is about 15 minutes walk away, but there are bus stops very close, and exploring NYC on foot is a must. Liza was very easy to get in touch with and checking in and out was very easy.
Jun 27, 2019We had a great stay at Lisa’s place! A nice and clean apartment, great hospitality and fast respons from Lisa.
Jun 27, 2019Great little apartment, quirky and cute, about a 15 min walk to the subway.
Jun 27, 2019Excelente apartamento, buena ubicación y muy limpio!
Jun 27, 2019Very clean, cozy, and quiet space. Check-in was easy and Lisa was very responsive and helpful. The location is great - lots to walk to.
Jun 27, 2019Lisa's apartment was perfect for our stay in New York. Wonderfully located and incredibly comfortable. Lisa was a great host as well, with super quick responses. Thanks!
Jun 27, 2019Appartement calme, hyper bien placé. Il y a des commerces partout autour Très pratique pour se déplacer à pied ou à vélo dans Manathan. Je conseille
Jun 27, 2019Lisa's place is perfect for a couple : perfectly located with all the stuff you may need in the kitchen and in the bathroom. But note that it's a bit hard to find the supermarket where the keys are waiting for you 0.5 mile away from Lisas's building ! It's pretty far away by feet and almost impossible to find without an internet connection and a GPS! Hopefully our Uber driver accepted to drop us there before coming back to Lisa's. Moreover you need a code to get the keys that you may receive during your flight... so once again, you will need an internet connection after your arrival to get this code. Not very convenient for a foreigner.
Jun 27, 2019L’appartement était conforme à l’annonce, Lisa était très disponible pour toutes informations supplémentaires ! Le lit est magique et parfait après une journée de visite ! Nous avons passé un agréable séjour dans cette appartement, encore merci !
