let me first qualified by saying I stay in Airbnb apartments in excess of 70 nights/year. I frequently stay in Airbnb apartments in the east village.M's place is exceptional. it is clean. it is spacious (not frequently seen in lower East side or East village apartments). the kitchen is well stocked. the towels and linens are really lovely. the doorpeople are friendly and helpful.M is available and helpful, communicative, and a pretty swell chap! when available and I'm coming to New York this is my new go to. enjoy!
