As a former New Yorker,I knew not to expect a luxury suite,so I wasn't surprised by the apartment.It is pretty basic plus a little more (it has a tub!!!),but it isn't some pristine apartment. The bathrooms and bedrooms are really nice, the living room/kitchen a bit cold (in atmosphere),but comfortable enough. Not really good for cooking in,though,I have to say.
One thing I will say to warn people,but only those with small,or young children is that the floor downstairs is divided into levels-meaning-you come up the stairs,which open straight into the living room (also a warning to watch your children with the stairs),then there's a small step up to where the big couch is,and a bigger step up to where the kitchen is. It was kind of OK with us since there's was 4 adults to one 8 month old,so there was always someone to watch him when he was crawling,but he was trying to go down the level/steps head-first,which we had to keep him from doing. If you have an older child,you will also want to watch them to keep them from running and tripping. My father in-law kept forgetting about these steps and almost hurt himself a few times and he's an adult. I had no problem with them and,as I said,since there was a number of adults there,our son was safe,but that's the only reason I felt OK with him crawling around. Just wanted to make this note for parents so there wasn't a surprise when you get there.
All-and-all,a nice, clean apartment with wonderful bathrooms and bedrooms. Amazing location,especially for someone who lived in the East Village for many years. I only wish I could have had this location when I was still a NYer.
