Excellent value

The apartment was as promised. It was quite clean, the bed in the bedroom was very comfortable, being in the back of the building the apartment was very quiet, the wireless internet worked great, the kitchen was reasonably well-stocked. Being right above the cafe made it very easy to pick up and drop off keys, etc. Marco (in the cafe) was very helpful, and always available if we needed anything. The neighborhood was great (though I'd avoid Katz's - it was a big disappointment). Our experience was quite satisfactory and, considering the price, space, and ammenities (compared to a standard hotel room in a comparable neighborhood), this was a terrific value. We'd definitely stay here again.

Owner response:thank you joe and you are most welcome again any time isaac

The apartment is very well situated, a few blocks from the Houston/Broadway intersection and is quiet, well equipped. Though, there is no real nice view outside. Many small restaurants and bars in the Ludlow Street and adjacent streets, a well animated area in the evening, with apparently more local people and less tourists. Walking distance to Little Italy and Chinatown. The EarthMatters Cafe is very convenient for light lunches and diners with friendly personnel, and Mosh, the property owner is friendly too!

Great Location, Laid-Back Atmosphere

I have nothing but good things to say about this vacation rental. It is managed by the same people who run the Earthmatters Cafe underneath it, which is uniquely convenient since you can always find someone to ask if you need extra supplies, have questions about the apartment, etc. The owners are very very nice and helpful, and the food at the cafe is delicious too. The apartment itself was clean and neat and looked exactly as it does in the photos. The two radiators were nice and warm and the apartment was quiet despite being in a very busy nightlife area. There are plenty of places to eat and drink within walking distance of the apartment, and the F-train is just a couple of blocks away. Highly recommend this place!

We arrived for a girls getaway and had the time of our lives! Perfect location for adventure….. cool part of town! Great bars, pubs and restaurants at the doorstep. Thankyou Mosh & staff from Earth matters below for your hospitality and delicious food ! Would recommend to anyone wanting an adventure in Manhattan. The people of NYC couldn’t be more friendlier to a few travelling Aussies, can’t wait to come back!

Great Launch Pad

What a great place! Very comfortable and clean. Felt like home! My wife and I, our 5 year old son, and black lab just returned from a long weekend in the LES. Mosh was fantastic, and all in the cafe where super, very friendly. This great apartment is 2 blocks from the subway so it is convienient to go anywhere in the city. There is a municipal parking garage 2 blocks down that is very reasonable. Don't miss the Creperie right down the street. Great neighborhood, great apartment .. . . can't wait to go back!

Was really happy here - great location, owner is really cool, company were very helpful and professional. Really modern art feel - great view of sunrise over the building from the bed. Comfortable in every respect, modern fixtures all in new condition and in a nice safe part of town. Highly recommended!

Perfect place in NYC

Four of us stayed there for 12 days, second half of August 2010. Apartment was clean and our host - Moshe was very helpful. Since there were 4 of us, two of us slept on the sofa in the living room and it was was very comfy sleeping indeed. We forgot some things in the apartment and Mosh already found them and sent it to us when we contacted him. Neighbourhood is the best ever. there is an indie movie theatre 2 minutes from the apartment. Very cool guitar store with lots of boutique gear (three of us are musicians so this was a big bonus). Cool concert venue - Mercury Lounge just accross the street and Pianos (you should definitely go there on friday, midnight, because you can see Wolff playing there with their crazy tuba-electronica). Also there is Spitzer's Corner - a bar with really wide variety of beer...Everything within few steps from the apartment. This was probably the best accomodation I had in any city - and I tend to travel a lot...

I would highly recommend this spot. Great location and I loved being above Earth Matters cafe and having all of the juice, smoothies, egg sandwiches, vitamins, coffee etc... that I could possibly want every morning right downstairs. You have access to the cafe patio after hours which was quite nice. Everybody that we delt with made our stay enjoyable and the transaction through paypal was very simple and straightforward. There is much to see and do within walking distance. I would stay here again! Thank you!!

Excellent Accomodations for NYC

My daughter and I were visiting my older daughter who lives in NYC and I researched hotels and apartments. This was perfect and roomy with the comforts of home. I was so pleased. The 3 of us stayed here, the beds were very comfortable and the den area was plenty big enough for 3 other friends to visit and play games. Also, It was quiet at night so we slept very well. It was nice having Earthmatters right below us as well. Will definitely stay here again! Thank you Isaac and Mosh.
