I had an amazing time staying in Dk's apartment in the East Village! It was exactly as described in the listing and was clean and homely. It also had a bath which i totally loved after the end of a long day exploring. Melinda, the cleaning lady, met me and was really helpful and gave me useful advice about the surrounding area and helpful hints about being in New York. Dk was always helpful when responding to my inquiries before I arrived and replied speedily, and was really accommodating when I needed to leave my luggage in the apartment on the last day before my evening flight.

The location of the apartment is what it is all about though! If you want to have a real New York experience in a really hip and happening area where everything is on your doorstep then this is the place to be. I totally loved being right next to St Marks Place and I didn't have to walk more than 2mins every night to get amazing food in lovely restaurants. Its also a really great location for exploring the rest of the island - and its one stop to Brooklyn on the L - which was also really helpful. I had the most amazing time and would happily stay there again in the future. Thanks Dk!
