    Great location, space and hosts

    April 28, 2013

    I spent two weeks at this lovely artistic loft B&B. 4 nights on the 7th floor space and 10 nights on the 5th floor space. 7th floor is more private and that's where the main gallery is located. The space is modern and beautifully designed, with spacious living, dinning and kitchen space. The 5th floor is where the hosts’ home is located, so it has more of a shared home environment. I really liked both spaces. The hosts are incredibly friendly and caring. They really care about your comfort. They are also very helpful in recommending areas to visit or eat. I felt like I was spending time with good friends or family. My rooms were bright with windows facing Lafayette Street. The bed was very comfortable. I really enjoyed meeting the other guests also. Because I stayed for two weeks, I met a variety of European visitors and spent mornings talking with them during breakfast. I chose this B&B for the location and the artistic environment, and was not disappointed. The location is perfect in the heart of Soho, close to galleries, restaurants and shopping. I enjoyed walking around the small neighborhood streets. The subway stations are close by. Traveling alone, I spent most evenings having dinner with Michele, Albert and their daughter Philipine. I also met the sweetest small dog, Scout. I highly recommend this B&B and I would stay there again in the future.

    Ever slept in an Art gallery?

    Michele and Albert are wonderfully welcoming hosts. Staying at their place was a pleasure! Loved having breakfast amidst beautiful works of art by Albert and friends. Lots of nice restaurants within 5min walk from the loft. Michele and Albert provide a road map of todo's that is specifically designed so that you have to return to NY a couple more times to complete everything :-) Well played!

    There's a reason why this place is so well reviewed. The art is beautiful, the room cozy, the innkeeper knowledgable, friendly and talented. Stayed on the 7th floor, wife did not want to leave. Will definitely stay here every time we return to manhattan. Jason

    Once you have been there, you wonder, what hotels are for. Gorgeous place, very friendly people and great service. And on top: you live in a gallery and the art is great.

    Lovely, artistic family loft

    January 01, 2013

    I had a most enjoyable stay in Albert, Michele and Philipine's loft and would highly recommend it to anyone who wishes to find a place to breathe and sleep deeply while enjoying the elegance of a French atelier, the warmth of a truly genuine family, and the vibrancy of Soho. I look forward to returning and hope you get to experience this beautiful place as well. I stayed in the Red Room and found it spacious, comfortable and quiet.

    Absolute Perfection.

    December 17, 2012

    Stayed a fabulous 8 days on the 5th floor of this completely inspired space. The entire host family made my stay feel more like a visit in the city with friends. Each morning I awoke to smiles, fresh dark roast, and an equally as appealing croissant. I was always greeted with warmth in the loft, surrounded by amazing artwork, colors, and pure creativity. These hosts, this space, represent and embody all that is good, and furthermore all that is good in quite possibly the most vibrant city in the world where the energy is palpable. That equates to a pretty zen vacation and an equally amazing space to remember it in. Absolutely, when in NYC, you must spend some time at 153 Lafayette. The decision is simple.

    Great place to stay with wonderful hosts.Nice warm conversations & lots of helpful info.Very good karma.

    December 14, 2012

    My wife & I spent a 5 day vacation to NYC with these lovely people.We felt completely at home & left with 4 new friends,although one is canine.If you don't mind a 5th floor walk up when the elevator is not running,& if you are open minded,as Michelle told us,you will like this place.It also helps to be a friendly person.The interaction with the family & all the helpful info is special.So is the dog Scout.If you don't like dogs,go somewhere else.All in all,a delightful experience.Our stay there greatly enhanced our vacation.
