I stayed here for 2 weeks during a grant program in the city and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The neighborhood felt safe and was a fantastic place for food (the Ukrainian and Moroccan especially), was close to all the East Village gardens, St Mark’s Place, Tompkins Square Park, all the music venues on the Lower East side and the subway. The space itself was charming and felt like an actual place instead of an impersonal corporate stay. The Wi-Fi was fast and the garden was a wonderful spot to relax with coffee in the morning or a glass of wine in the afternoon. The host was responsive, bed was comfortable and I will absolutely stay there again.
