My wife and I enjoyed our stay in this small house. I'm not gonna claim it was without a few minor hiccups, but Olivia did a fantastic job of ironing out any wrinkles and seeing to the fact that we were happy. She really did go beyond my expectations.

The house itself is quite small, but no surprise there! (Right?) We loved the fact that it still had everything we needed in such a small space. I find it ingenious the way that the space issue is dealt with in such small homes. It was clean enough for my wife (who has high standards), and it was located in a safe and exciting neighbourhood. The East Village has tons of cool restaurants and interesting stores nearby. Access to the various subways and buses was just a mere 10 minute walk away. The garden was a nice bonus, but it wasn't anything of which we really took advantage.

Perhaps the biggest drawback to the place is the ladder you need to climb up to get to the loft bed. Like another reviewer wrote, it would be difficult for any elderly or "large" folks to maneuver. I'm no spring chicken, so that's something I would keep in mind for when I return. But all that said, there is a pull-out bed too (which we never used).

Overall, this place was very good. It was perfect for us, but perhaps not for everyone.
