This is an incredible slice of New York life, and a rare opportunity to stay in a two story apartment in the heart of the East Village. The entrance and walk-up might confuse you, but its uniqueness is very New York. Enjoy the top floor balcony with views of the Chrysler Building, and step out onto 6th st for everything you need, from restaurants to grocery stores to coffee shops. Various subway lines are less than 10 min walks in any direction, and the host is super attentive should you need any additional info. Highly recommend this place.
