Samir's apartment is the perfect base to explore East Village from—a flourishing community of great restaurants and bars, with plenty of late-night haunts for the jet-lagged nearby. The apartment has so much personality and is well-furnished, and Samir himself was very easy to deal with. Anticipate some noise from the upstairs neighbor and the bar below, but nothing too much that can't be expected in this area of Manhattan. The outdoor deck is a great bonus!
