The east village is my favorite neighborhood in NYC. We were able to enjoy the outdoor neighborhood pool while we were there and walked to the east river for the 4th of July fireworks party. There is an endless array of great restaurants, cafes, and shopping in the area. The bed was super comfortable and the place was high up and away from any street noise. The apartment was comfortable and cozy and the hardest part about staying there was having to leave. I highly recommend Sue's home.
