Joe's place was fantastic. Stay here if you really want to experience being a New Yorker. His place is in the awesome prime location of East Village. Everything is walkable from his place. Amazing restaurants and bars in the area. And you literally can't beat his private roof deck. Amazing views from it. One thing though don't travel with too many bags. His place is a walk up with about five flights of stairs. Communication with Joe is extremely fast. He will answer all your questions in a timely matter. Absolutely loved everything about my stay! Thanks Joe for being an amazing host!
