Very kind and responsive host–met in person for the key handoff, and left a personalised letter with all the key information about the apartment.

The apartment's location was great, right on the border between East Village and the Lower East Side. Very lively neighbourhood, subway was close-by.

The apartment is actually larger than it appears in the images, it has a nice living room with plenty of light. The kitchen is small but that should be the last of your priorities while in NY. The apartment has a very peculiar style and decor which makes it very unique regardless of your tastes.
