  Amy welcomed us very warmly for our first stay in NYC, showed around the flat, recommended some good place to see. The flat was charming with lots of character and perfect for us, central, in between downtown and midtown, perfect for walks - nice big Whoolefood next block, close to some really cool bars / cafes / restaurant and the metro. All in all the perfect place for the perfect experience of NY! Will come back!

  Second time we've stayed in this apartment, because it worked so well the first time. Great hosts and excellent location - we would be happy to come again!

  Mattis

  Super location. It is not a big place but very cozy and room enough for two people. Everything is close by. Can recommend going to Katz deli for a sandwich.

  Chiara

  My husband and I stayed at Amy's place and loved it. They were really helpful and easygoing, the location beautiful and convenient. We wish them the very best. Thank you for everything!!! Chiara & Valerio

  Steve M’s review is right on the money. We did six nights at the Nolita Nest, and it’s good to be in an area where people live, work, eat and celebrate (especially on a block that manages to stay quiet), plus the apartment has a creaky old charm. Amy and partner are sweethearts, and when you do the share arrangement – which, again, barely matters to you since you’re likely to be hardly back there during the day – the savings on the price are welcome too.

  Steve

  Amy's right: this is the best neighborhood in Manhattan, near as I can tell; and her Nolita Nest is a terrific place to stay. Great food and coffee nearby, and if you're a member of a local YMCA you can use the Chinatown Y facilities a couple minutes' walk from Amy's address. The neighborhood is safe, subway lines are close, and Amy's freely-shared recommendations of places to eat & drink & visit gets a person right into the swing. This is a simple, old, upgrade-in-progress tenement... More »

  My fiance and I stayed in Amy's Nolita Nest for 5 nights. The location could not be much better. On a quiet yet lively street in the heart of Nolita, within a few blocks of Whole Foods Market, subway stops, good restaurants, shops, a park, etc. etc. Could not be much better. The place itself was nice. The couple's office is attached and open to the living area/bedroom. The place is not really set up for relaxing or spending time there, but no one goes to NYC for that! That said, the... More »

  My husband and I stayed in the Amy's comfortable, characterful second floor apartment for 6 nights, and it was so much better than staying in a hotel. Like other guests we found Amy and her husband to be friendly, helpful and easy going. Our flight left NY at 8pm and we were able to leave our luggage in the apartment until we needed to go to the airport, which took a lot of stress out of our final day in the city. They also left us a stack of take out menus, and a list of restaurants and... More »

  We had a great stay in Amy's apartment. The location was fantastic the bed very comfortable. Amy was quick to respond to any correspondance. The apartment was also very clean. I would definitely recommend Nolita Nest to anyone staying in NYC

  The apartment was very clean, located in a great neighborhood of shops/restaurants, and within close access to the subway. Amy responded quickly, and was easy to work with.

  This was my second time in Amy's apartment, as as the first time, we had a wonderful time there. Location is great for restaurants, shopping or just strolling NYC..., Amy is very helpful and attentive. Very, very recomended. Next time in NYC...I'll repeat for 3rd time :-)

  Angela

  We loved the apartment in Nolita! It is bright and fun, very conveniently located close to anything you might need and easy walking distance to several subway stops. The neighborhood is great, and Amy is a wonderful host. The bathroom is small and takes a little getting used to, but overall, this is a MUCH better situation than you will find in any hotel without paying a fortune. I highly recommend it!

• 

  Edoardo

  Amy is a wonderful host and a very kind person. The flat is located in a perfect place, very close to a lot of facilities: subway station, Whole Food, nice restaurants, shops (Broadway is 2 blocks far) If you need any information or suggestion, Amy can help you.. so she will suggest you her favourite sushi restaurant, or the best burger of Nolita! If in future I’ll come again in NY (I wish) I’d definetely rent the same loft Pay heed to this feedback… terrific choice!

  My partner and I stayed at Nolita Nest for 4 days. You couldn't find a better location than this anywhere! This neighbourhood has so much to offer - the coolest shops and bars right on your doorstep. Transport via Prince metro is easy and will get you anywhere else you may want to go (although you probably wont want to stray to far!) The apartment feels like your own, its just so comfy and stress free, we only met the hosts for half an hour or so but they are charming and very helpful. We... More »

  Very nice place, big, clean and sunny. Very nice hosts (check out their great (website hidden) map list). A bit noisy, but that's what you're looking for in this great neighbourhood! Thanks for the calls, fixing our computer and... for the "healthy" pie guys :)

  Nick

  It's been an absolute pleasure staying in the coolest apartment in the hipest neighbourhood in the best city in the world. Staying here couldn't be a better base to explore everything good and bad that NY has on offer. The host and her husband are lovely people, witty and charming, who leave you alone to get on with your trip. Yet, if you need any help, are only a phone call away and are more than happy to give help and advice. I can't recommend the apartment highly enough. Thank you both... More »

  I felt very welcome and relaxed from the minute I entered the flat. The room was charming and the location in East village was perfect for me. The neighbourhood was safe and interesting. Amy and her husband were relaxed, friendly and I felt if anything had gone wrong with my trip I could have counted on them. The experience with them made my trip a huge success. Thank you both.

  Patricia

  I definitely recommend staying at Amy's! The apartment was in the PERFECT location with shops and restaurants in every direction you walked! The place spacious, very safe, clean, and quiet at night time. The bed was also quite comfortable and we slept well all three nights. As others have mentioned, the bathroom is small but quite clean and honestly, you only go into that part of the apartment at most twice a day, so who really cares! Amy was a wonderful host and incredibly responsive. The... More »

  Marcin

  It's probably hard to find a better place to stay in NYC if you don't expect luxury. The host is very helpful.

• 

  David

  The Sunny Greenwich Room was completely charming, as were the hosts. Their two cats were definitely an added bonus to what was a great new york style living experience. Excellent location.

• 

  Jackie

  Great location and the host is very helpful. Bohemian, arty atmosphere makes you feel you are really a part of the best neighbourhood in NYC. Thank you! Jackie, October 6th, 2009

  Jose luis

  We had a blast in NY...and a part of it was this apartment fault! You cannot think in better location, close to restaurants, shops, and places to get a drink. Tons of subways station, and perfectly connected to JFK. And teh apartment itself, it is a nice newyorker type of apartment. Excellent value for the price. Bath kind of tiny and teh apartmnet is not luxurious, but who cares, it is full of character...and we go to NY to enjoy the city. We did cook one night in teh apartment too, as there... More »

  We had a great time in New York and found the apartment perfect for what we needed. As what has been said below, the location is excellent, the hosts both very helpful and left us a small list of places to check out in the neighbourhood. I would definitely stay again, they were great hosts.

• 

  Diana

  We were very happy with the small, but cosy appartment, and can really recommend it to any traveller who wants to stay overnight in the middle of everything and doesn´t want to pay mad hotelprices. It was a great choice for us, amy and ariel were nice and helpful, and i hope the cats were satisfied, too, with us looking after them. Thanks again for this nice stay, which felt so much like REAL new york city!

• 

  Bec

  It was great to stay with people who had similar interests to us. The hosts gave us local tips on places worth visiting and were easy to get along with in the apartment. The bookshelf in our room was an added bonus, our own little library.

  Celine

  We stayed in Nolita Nest for 3 nights and it was fantastic-- great location, great layout, very reasonable price. We would definitely recommend it and come back. Thanks!

  Julian

  Had a great time, great location and friendly, helpful hosts. Really sorry Amy for the very delayed review! For some reason we thought we had written one, and only now noticed it wasn't there.

• 

  Deepa

  My husband and I stayed at the host's place in the East Village. Cool and friendly hosts, quirky and bright flat, a neighborhood that is fun and accessible and in the middle of everything for a reasonable price! The location was great -- made it easy for us to just quickly zip back to the flat after a morning of shopping (shopaholic alert) and dump the morning's loot before heading out again. The 4th floor walkup is a bit of a climb, but if you ate as much as I did in NY you will need the... More »

  Manya

  I stayed at the Nolita Nest and I really had a blast. The hosts were sweet, responsive, and low-maintenance. Their apartment was in the best NYC neighborhood, hands down (and I've lived all over NYC). The bathroom took about five seconds to get used to but I find myself actually missing it now that I'm back in Chicago. It's just on the second floor, so no big walk-up situation (nice for me, with my 10,000lb bags). Their place was adorably decorated and everything was a breeze. It really is a... More »

  Elin

  Great apartment in the best of neighborhoods of New York. The host is very friendly and we felt very comfortable staying in Nolita nest.

• 

  Linda

  The hosts are an adorable and delightful couple. The apartment is very nice and neat. Great location in the east village convenient to Cooper Union/NYU/Soho/W Village. Next to a sensational sushi restaurant, Jewel Bako, where you can spend all of the money on sushi that you saved by staying at the apartment. Please note: The apartment is not for the faint of heart---4th floor walk up and noise from the bar across the street was so loud that it woke me up at 4am, even with the air... More »

  Ana

  I had a great time with the hosts. They really look after you. The room was excellent - it is huge and has a very comfortable bed, as well as large windows and lots of natural light. The apartment is also in a fascinating part of the city.

• 

  Marie

  The "Nolita Nest" was a wonderful place to stay. Really comfortable, the quirky railroad apartment is a super quiet place to recover from the bustling city right outside your window. Surrounded by shops and cafes, restaurants and galleries and 1min. around the corner is the New Museum! Amazing to be so central in a lively neighborhood and then to come home to this apartment - i stayed for a week and could just as well moved in :)

• 

  Paula

  The charming apartment is a very small but clean place. The size of the guest room is approximately 12sqm and only good for living out of suitcase. The host should install another little table with reading light as there is only one. The noisy Club across the street and 2nd Avenue - just 5 footsteps away - makes it difficult to sleep without earplugs especially on weekends when people go out. Would be good to mention in the description of the room that there is no elevator to the 4th floor.... More »

  We had a great time at this place! The location was great for people like us who like to eat everything from Japanese to Venezuelan food. The hosts were really friendly, the apartment was cosy and it felt almost like home.

  Konrad

  It was great to live so central, close to everything. The hosts are laid back people. And their apartment is stylish – a nice atmosphere to come home after a day in town! Thanks.

  Séverine

  Very nice place, greatly located, lovely atmosphere. We felt very free and indépendant for everything. Just in case: if you have back problem or you are very tall, the bed is not for you... The room is small, but clean, you just have place to leave a back pack on the floor. We really enjoyed the location, which is amazingly central.
