We were completely comfortable at Jillian’s apartment. It was more like staying at a friend’s place than a rental, with more amenities than a hotel. If you’re a fan of pre-war architecture, you’ll love this old building with plenty of NYC character. The apartment is larger than it appeared in the photos. The furnishings and decorations are understated and just enough. The kitchen/bathroom combo is efficient and immaculate, with everything needed for convenience and comfort. The white bedding was very welcoming and warm. The water closet was spotless.
There is a charming restaurant right downstairs and an excellent pizza place a few steps away on the corner. The East Village is fun and bustling, yet the apartment is on a side street that actually is relatively quiet.
We felt very safe here, and we’re considering making this our new go-to lodging for our frequent trips to NYC. Definitely would recommend!
