Casey’s place resembles the nyc apartment you daydream about: cozy, filled with art, lots of outdoors spaces, and the unmistakable nostalgic smell that accompanies old hardwood floors. Seriously, I had no idea places like this even existed in the east village. It is two blocks off from Tompkins and a short walk to the East River. Also, communication with Casey was easy and speedy. I stayed in the room without AC during a ~95°+ day and was fine if you are worried about that. I can imagine how cozy it’d feel around the holidays. If you’re looking for a sign to book, this is it.
