Wilson's place was super clean and chic. We really enjoyed the experience of living like real East Village residents. The area felt safe and, at nights, is full of activity with a diversity of restaurants and shops; yet inside the apartment, you do not hear the noise. Wilson is an excellent host: he was very flexible and courteous, and went out of his way (literally) to give us the keys one day before check-in. Also, we were able to find free parking space on the street, which helped us save a lot of money.
