We spent a wonderful week at Rosa's place in East Village. The location is great, lots of interesting dining options, nice cafes & bakeries at every corner, lots of night life, easy walk to West Village and other interesting neighborhoods. The street is not busy and quite green. Regarding equipment, the place is very basic. One should not expect a 5 star hotel, but there are extra sheets & towels available and the bed is actually comfortable. The bathroom is rather small and I would not try to prepare a real dinner in the kitchen (however, cooking would be a waste given the dining options outdoors!). The main living area is sufficiently large & comfortable & the windows bring a lot of light. For those seeking complete privacy, it should be noted, that the bed is located next to the entrance door and one can hear other guests passing through the hallway. Overall, your experience is going to depend on what you are seeking. Total comfort and perfection or new experiences and adventure. In my mind, this place will be appreciated rather by the second group of travelers.
