Petko's place is just a gem in the East Village/NYU area. The check-in was super easy and Petko gave very clear instructions. The apartment is a beautiful, cozy place yet has all the amenities you'd want. As other reviewers have noted, the place is apartment is absolutely quiet at night for a good sleep. Yet, the moment you come down to the street it's choc-a-bloc with people, shops, and eateries.. best of both worlds!
Itemized review:
-- The living room couch is very comfy.. the large TV has Chromecast so you can watch anything that can be streamed via Chromecast.
-- The kitchen has everything basic needed to cook a meal.. pots, pans, oil, salt, etc. Sometimes you may have to look closely to find what you need in the cabinets. The stove is a gas stove so you'll need to use the provided lighter.
-- The bed is very cozy and there's hangers and laundry baskets.
-- The dishwasher and washer/dryer mean that cleaning dishes/clothes is super convenient.. dishwash pod/ clothes detergent is provided, so that was super convenient.
-- there is an AC unit in the living room and the bedroom. The bedroom one is slightly old.. the temp control panel was a little hard to find but worked great!
-- there is a nice patio to relax and drink coffee, though there is a giant fan in the neighborhood which I felt made the air a little dusty.
-- One thing to keep in mind is that the street seemed to get closed off to traffic on fri-sun evenings.. So if you're carrying a heavy luggage or heavy groceries and arriving at that time, you might have to walk a bit.
-- Petko is very responsive and supportive if you have any questions! :)
All in all, this place is a 10/10 from me and justifies the price in that neighborhood!
