This lovely apartment is perfect for your stay if you want to get a good feel for one of the most vibrant parts of NYC. Staying here will put you in the midst of the action of the East Village, close to several cool bars and restaurants (and pretty much anything else you could name, and several things you possibly couldn't). The apartment itself is tastefully furnished and has everything you could want for a short-term stay (TV, aircon, coffee maker etc.). Being rear-facing was great as the apartment catches enough sun to be reasonably well-lit but not enough to make the apartment hot. Overall, this was a great place to stay and comes highly recommended.
