To start, Kent & Nik are well versed in the Air B n B game, to say the least. So organized. So on it. Everything ready to go the second you arrive. Not all over your shit, though. They talk if you want to and don't if you don't. But you won't see them much anyway because the set up is a dream. Their room area is at one side of the apartment then a long hallway and kitchen extends far down to your room on the complete other side of the apartment. Next to the bathroom. It honestly feels like living in your own little NY studio space with next door neighbors, not roommates.
Lower east side is probably the most sought after area in NYC, I'd say. So the East Village is a step away from that cool downtown crazy with a little bit more of a relaxed, homey, neighborhood vibe. There are restaurants and shops all around, so yes it's still alive, but just more livable. Somewhere you want to come home to after a long day in the city. The park across the street is cute. Coffee shop underneath the building. Comfortable and safe feeling. In the apartment itself- views of old NY apartment buildings and tree branches. Little doves sit at the window in the morning. The window situation is pretty amazing- big and open bringing sunshine into the room. Nice bed. Brick walls. Desk space. Ahh I want to go back.
Oh and the dogs are so nice. You don't even know they're there. But once in a while, after their walk, you'll just know they're outside your door wondering what's going on in there. I love opening my door and seeing one of them waiting to say hi to me before they go back to their side of the apartment.
Enjoy your sweet stay in the East Village xx
