Our apartment is on Manhattan's far Lower East Side -- an atypically quite corner of the city with lots of green space, and a wonderful residential community. There is one large bedroom with a queen bed, and a queen-sized pull-out couch in the living room. We also have a queen-sized blow up mattress that can fit in the bedroom or living room as well.

We are across the street from East River park, where you can walk, bike, make use of ball fields and run along the water or a city-maintained track. The river front also hosts a ferry stop, the most pleasant way to commute to other parts of the city.

The apartment is filled with light all day, and has a large patio with truly spectacular views of downtown NYC, the East River and bridges.
