This place is the unicorn of the east village. The yard, yes YARD!, is so peaceful and unique in the village. Of course it’s quirky, this isn’t Chelsea. It’s surprisingly quiet, even on the weekend, which was a shocker being as it’s right on the street. It felt safe and homey. The skylights are bright..but that’s what sky lights are for. I loved waking up to tree branches above me. The East Village/Alphabet City/Lower East Side is where you go to feel at home and experience NY and this space was perfect. The fold out couch is comfy and we could still maneuver around just fine. Little extras like sunscreen, shampoo, etc we’re so helpful! We will definitely be back to stay again! *little hiccup with the hot water going out was fixed right away- seriously one of the easiest Airbnb experiences ever.
