Myself and four friends stayed at Deborah's place for 10 nights and had a great stay. The place is very spacious for a New York City apartment (the pictures don't do it justice) and the garden/courtyard out the back was great and made the place seem even bigger. The East Village neighbourhood is great too. There are lots of cafes, bars and a big park within a short walk from the apartment, and the subway at Union Square (about a 15 minute walk) connects you to pretty much anywhere in the city.
Deborah's communication in the lead up to our arrival made check-in super easy and fast. Deborah was great throughout our stay too, responding quickly to any queries we had and she also just checked in (via email) a couple of times to make sure everything was going ok.
Overall, this place is great value for money - reasonably priced, in a cool neighbourhood of Manhattan, spacious and has everything you need for a very pleasant stay in NYC.
Thanks very much for having us Deborah!
