I had a great stay at Elizabeths apartment - the place was super cool and filled with eclectic little touches. It's small but has everything you need. The neighbourhood is awesome and I made fast friends with the guys in the Bodega and Wine Store! So much to see and do in East Village alone and transport connections were easy. I felt like a true New Yorker staying at Elizabeths place and she was very easy to communicate with both before and during my stay. Would recommend.
