We loved our stay at Maria and Asaf's lovely 2 room apartment with a view to a garden in the back. We were able to cook and rest and work in perfect peace. Great espresso machine, pots and pans, a new fridge, lots of hot water, a comfortable bed, welcoming roses and chocolate. The location is amazing, at the junction of the East and West Village, with a great variety of places to eat and drink nearby, but the street itself is quiet, just old houses and trees. A nearby subway takes you up or downtown. You can walk to Soho and Tribeca, or over to the East River for amazing views of Brooklyn and Queens and a walk along the river. Maria was helpful with anything we needed. We feel incredibly lucky to have been able to stay in such a wonderful spot, and hope to return again someday.
