Great place and great value. John is a very good host and is really thoughtful in making sure his guests have what they need. He's punctilious about changing the sheets and towels (and straightening up) every week, and has a number of city guides in the room. I didn't need any hints on where to go or what to do, but I have no doubt he could have provided them. While 7th Street can get a little noisy on Friday and Saturday nights, closing the windows mitigates a lot of that. The East Village is one of my favorite parts of town, and I couldn't have had a better or more "local" experience. I'd happily stay there again.
