Artistic, cozy 5th floor apartment a couple blocks south of Tompkins Square Park. The apartment is bohemian and eclectic. I felt very much at home. You have access to all of the amazing restaurants, bars, and cafés of both the East Village and the Lower East Side.
Quiet building! Highly recommended, and Sarah is a breeze to deal with.
Note that there are four flights of stairs (good exercise!) and the closest subway is a 10–15 min walk.
