We had a great time staying at Cristina's place. Very well located in the East Village - so close to all the restaurants/bars and also a quick walk to the subway to get anywhere you like in New York. Her place was super clean with nice fluffy white towels and a great pressure in the shower. The mattress and pillows were comfortable (we chose to remove the softer foam overlay as we prefer a firmer mattress). We stayed during a period of warmer weather so it was excellent to have AC in the bedroom as the apartment is on the fourth floor so can get warm. We also enjoyed the Nespresso coffee machine and pods she thoughtfully left for us. Cristina was an excellent host - getting in touch a few days prior to arrival, giving clear check in/our instructions, was very quick to respond to any questions and happy to help. Would stay there again and would absolutely recommend to others.
