Spacious, newly remodeled three bedroom, one bath apartment on the second floor of a three story walk-up in the lower east side. There is a combined living room/dining room, which is reasonably spacious by Manhattan standards, and includes a dining room table with chairs for four people. Our family of four roasted a turkey in the new oven and enjoyed a congenial Thanksgiving dinner in the dining room. The living room sofa expands into a bed or a lay down couch, which was very comfortable for family TV watching. There is a wonderful neighborhood grocery store (Union Market) just two blocks away and a whole foods just a few blocks further. You are a short walk from the East Village and Nolita. Our host was extremely attentive to any issues that arose. The only slight negative is that there was a foul order emanating from the basement of the building that settled in the stairway. I would guess that the host should be able to get this issue resolved soon.
