The East Village gets louder as the night goes on, as does the pounding of the bass from the club's music right downstairs. If you don't like those two things then don't book. To me, it's the music of the city and I slept like a baby.
The apartment is exactly like the pictures. Casual bohemian, comfortable and convenient. It has everything you need and then some -- like the outrageously great back deck. I will be back. And I can't wait.
