Location was awesome, close to train lines. Fridge available but no stove. Grocery close by. Great for city dwellers used to noise, but not a quiet sleeping situation with people talking, their alarms, club downstairs. Was super clean and a great price, given Manhattan. Great for solo travel.

In one word, my stay at Nolita Express was wonderful!! I extended twice and stayed for just under 2 wks as I work in Nolita. There is a clear preface before one books a room there that the beds are a certain length and there is no elevator. Confused at the negative reviews when all one has to do is read! And the room was bigger than I expected and the customer service was amazing! Steven, boss, runs a tight ship and his team- Lin, Gabriele, Chaima in particular-- were so so so helpful despite being pulled in a million directions. Location was truly so so convenient and you're living in the middle of the Bowery so it's busy all the time. Felt safe a female solo visitor. I would recommend Nolita Express and will definitely be staying there again!
