Kiki's place was very chic and zen. Kiki and her roommate were super accommodating and let me drop off my luggage slightly before check in, so I didn't have to haul it around the city all day, which was such a blessing. I did not get to meet Kiki because she was traveling, but she was still able to answer all of my questions. Her roommate was there during our stay and was very sweet and helpful. The apartment was very clean and well put together. The bathroom was nice and big especially for New York. The bed was pretty comfy and the air conditioning unit in the room was nice. The location was good and their were amazing bars and restaurants just a couple blocks away. The only downfall was the 5 flights of stairs and the distance from the nearest subway station which was tiring after walking around NYC all day, but it was to be expected. I would recommend Kiki's place to anyone looking for a cute place to stay in East Village!
