I had an amazing week-long stay at Joey's apartment in StuyTown/East Village. Joey was able to accommodate my last minute booking and provided exceptional communication and hospitality throughout my stay. Made me feel at home right away.
The only potential caution is that you will sleep on air mattress, but it was a quality one and I had no issues sleeping and even lounging on it through the day some. I kept it plugged in and just pumped it back up every few days.
Incredible value for a spacious room located convenient location off First Ave in Manhattan - highly recommend for a stay.
