This is the perfect location to live like a local in New York. For this visit we wanted to be away from the touristy spots and that is what we got. East Village is a such a great place to stay and has such a great energy to it with a bit of edginess. It's also approx a 20-25 min walk to Soho and the West Village, a 5 min walk to the subway, a grocery store a block away and more restaurants and cafes than you can count.
What I especially loved about this little gem is that the bedroom area is at the back of the building, so there is no road below. There are loads of trees and neighbouring courtyards though and this means it is quiet and you can get a restful sleep. The bed is comfy and the shower is great.
Even though it is a smaller unit, I found it perfect for a week's stay with my partner. There were a couple of nice large drawers in the bathroom for all my stuff, and decent room in the closet to hang and store stuff. We also cooked breakfast in the kitchen every morning and had everything we needed to do so.
I definitely recommend this for a nice stay for 1-2 people who want the perfect "hub" to hang out locally and see the rest of the city.
