The place is clean and pleasant with a great location to explore the East Village, Greenwich Village, Soho and other neighbourhoods in lower Manhattan. The opportunity to help Adi and Evangel provide meals to those in need adds a new dimension to a trip to New York. They do it several days a week and we joined them one morning to serve hot food on a cold day. It's encouraging to know that the money you pay to stay at their place helps them help others. Another bonus for staying there: Adi's a great story teller.
