If you really want to know what it's like to live in the East Village, this place is it! The space is in an amazing location (maybe the best-value Italian restaurant in the city across the street). The apartment is older but has character. In true EVill fashion, the floors slope, the radiator is erratic and there's street noise - all of which is what it's like to live in the city (so ignore the haters). But there's real art on the walls, hosts are friendly, and the bathroom and bedroom are clean and comfy. A terrific value, loved it!
