We had a wonderful trip staying in Catalina's apartment in the East Village. It was on a quiet block on the second floor of a walk-up. Catalina was there to meet us even though we arrived later than usual. She gave us multiple sets of keys, which was super helpful, and lives in the building so was easy to contact if we needed anything. The apartment was clean and the kitchen had everything we needed. Plenty of lovely restaurants, take out, and delivery as well as grocery and bagel shops in the area. The space was easy to live in for a week, air conditioning worked well when needed (we were here in August) and there is a washer/dryer unit in the closet if you need to do small loads, which was super convenient. Beds were comfortable (two twin beds and one double bed) and the apartment had quite a bit of light with windows facing north (on a quiet street honestly) and really large windows. the high ceilings (12-15 foot?) made the apartment feel larger and not cramped at all. The twin beds are in a loft so it looks over the kitchen/living room area. We had a great time and would certainly recommend!
