A perfectly wonderful apartment, great location, great experience!! Thank you DK! Everything went exactly according to plan, communication was timely and friendly and accurate by both the host and his neighbor who greeted me and provided a quick tour as well as the key (and offered to provide any help I needed during my stay.) The apartment is in a really fun location in the East Village, with a grocery store two doors away for almost anything you might need. Coffee shops, restaurants, bars and cafes galore. For an older NYC apartment I found it remarkably clean and quiet, with everything working well (lights, water, water pressure, stove, fridge, etc.) Bed was comfy, with extra futon available in the living room/office/second bedroom space. Very very happy with my experience, would love to stay again in future. :)
