We had a wonderful stay at Emma's place and would highly recommend booking with her. To start off, Emma's communication was quick and clear. She provided lots of details to help with the check-in process (very easy to manage) and even gave local recommendations. We also loved the apartment. It is a good-sized place by NY standards and had a very comfortable queen size bed. The shower was a plus as well. Water temp and pressure were better than our apartment at home! The apartment was very clean and well decorated and we enjoyed the "English Manor" touches. We had no trouble sleeping as the street is very quiet and so were the neighbors.
The location of the apartment in the East Village was perfect. While not near the typical tourist traps of midtown-Manhattan, we appreciated that the apartment provided us more of a neighborhood feel. There are tons of bars, restaurants, parks, coffee shops and stores within walking distance and we took advantage of them each day. NYU, the Lower East Side and Greenwich Village are all within walking distance and in my opinion it's better to walk than take the subway because you get to take in the sights around you. So overall, we would highly recommend Emma's place!
