Jack was the perfect host! The apartment is in a fantastic location, getting you out of midtown for that real NYC experience. Above one of the most famous deli's in NY, Russo's was a great location. Often we bought produce from the deli and ate in the park as we explored the city. Along with the friendly staff in the deli downstairs (Mack you're a star!), they made our trip to NY fantastic. I would have no hesitation recommending the accommodation for a single or a couple looking for an East Village experience. The addition of the Iphone on the premises makes sure there aren't any roaming 'nasties' when you arrive home.
