Staying at T's Saint Marks Place one bedroom has been a cool and unique experience. T has been very warm and welcoming. I felt that she truly wanted me to have a great experience. That she loved her apartment and wanted to share that feeling with me.
The block the apartment is on is right in the center of it all. You can walk out the building and feel that unique energy and pulse that St Marks Pl. has, yet once you enter the apartment you are facing the back and have peace and quiet. It is a real full one bedroom with a separate real eat in kitchen which is rare for the East Village. You definitely feel proper separation in the apartment. The apartment is not super modern, however what it lacks for in renovation it makes up for in charm and character. It definitely feels homey and comfortable. Also of note, I stayed during some cold New York City weather and experienced amazing heat and hot water.
I would definitely recommend staying at T's place if you would like a real East Village N.Y.C. experience.
