My stay with Kaptan was really welcoming. From a host to a host... he was really charming and friendly, the space was a bit Bohemian - very comfortable and roomie, and the room I stayed in was simple however with the most perfect comfortable bed! The whole flat was spacious - very rare for the Alphabet City / East Village area. I loved the outdoor space he has and the roommates all where just as charming and welcoming. I felt as if I was right at home. I totally loved my stay and would recommend to anyone looking to explore Alphabet City / East Village.
