I enjoyed my stay at Josh's place in Alphabet City. The apartment was very clean when I arrived. It was good sized for a studio. There was a nice couch and TV available. Josh also left a list of nearby attractions in the area and also a user guide for the apartment that made everything easier. The subway is a little bit of a walk (abt 15 min) but if you are planning to explore the East Village then it's a great fit for you.
