This apartment is a great location in the East Village. The neighborhood is very lively and it’s easy to get around the city from this location. The streets around it are full of restaurants and stores. Be warned that there is a smoke shop next door to the apartment building which leaves a smell in the building entrance area and outside, we weren’t bothered by it but it might be an annoyance to others. The apartment itself is small but cute and perfect for just two people. The bed is comfortable and the apartment is relatively clean with the exception of some dust and clutter. Note that there are a lot of personal belongings kept by the host at the apartment, so the closet and dresser were full and we wouldn’t have been able to use them had we wanted to (we were just staying for the weekend, so this wasn’t a concern). Overall, this was a nice place to stay for a short trip to NYC.
