Seth's place was quaint and cozy and gives an authentic New York/East Village experience. We were two young females from Oklahoma walking around the neighborhood after 10 pm and felt totally secure in our surroundings. The neighborhood is safe, quiet and diverse. It is a third-floor walk-up, so if stairs are a problem for you, this place might be a challenge. However, it was not an issue for us. The apartment itself is small, but efficient. The room is nicely decorated and provides amenities such as towels, hangers, hair dryer, first-aid kit, television with Hulu, Netflix, etc. It also has a window unit for additional customization and comfort. The apartment was clean, but not sterile because it is Seth's living space. We didn't see much of Seth because we only slept in the apartment, but he was hospitable and a good conversationalist, so as to make you feel comfortable in his home. He is a phenomenal artist and I personally the gallery in the kitchen. Overall, it was a good value, in a great location with a great host and I wouldn't hesitate to book again in the future.
