Stylish place in the heart of East Village. Be really sure you're ok with carrying luggage up 5 sets of stairs (Nicholas discloses this upfront). Super convenient, 1 block from the train station, close walk to Union Square, lot of restaurants/bars/cafes. Ventilation could be better, but the air conditioning unit helps. Easy host to get ahold of, had some hiccups with the reservation but willing to talk through it with you.
