I had a wonderful time staying here for about 6 weeks. Susie and her family were kind, friendly, flexible, and helpful hosts. The way the apartment is laid out makes it feel quite private, which is a real plus.
Because Susie was explicit about what to expect, I didn’t mind the quirks. If you mind the odd bug, a weak handheld shower, or having to walk up many flights of steps, you might not be comfortable here (or many other places in nyc…). But personally these were well worth the above positives! And perhaps most importantly, the location is just amazing. The area is safe, packed with stuff to do, and right by the F train. You can get to Harlem or Flatbush and most anywhere in between in a reasonable amount of time, and I never got tired of being able to walk home from nights out in the east village and surrounding areas. I’d definitely stay here again! :)
