Yael's apartment is a cosy stylish place to stay in : it's small but clean, comfortable (very comfy bed, soft towels and sheets) and beautifully decorated ! It is well equiped with everything you need. We discovered the neighbourhood of the east village which has a great vibe and is safe and secure. Yael's flat is situated within a short walking distance to many good restaurants and bars (we loved Yael's recommendations) which was appreciated after long days spent walking around Manhattan. The subway is a 15 minutes walk away.
Yael is welcoming and responsive. If you need anything she is easy to get in touch with and quick in her replies. Although she was overseas during our stay she helped with any inquiries we had. She also let us leave our suitcases for the day as our flight was late in the evening.
Couple of things to note :
For those who suffer from the heat and travel during summertime, the apartment can be very hot except for the bedroom which is equiped with an air conditioner.
Although it's a quiet block, it's NYC! So if you need silence to sleep, bring ear plugs.
Yael is a great host, we had a nice stay in NYC and would recommend to stay at her apartment in the east village !
