The neighborhood was amazing, St. Mark's Place (the whole street) was full of great food, street art, and people. East Village itself is filed with great places, all with a different vibe. The subway is quite close, and a walk to Greenwich Village is defintely suggested. The 6 floor walkup just makes you all the more happy to be back in the super sweet, homey apartment. Didn't leave before noon a single day, as the apartment really feels like a place you can live. Would suggest this place to anyone!
